Hossein Karamanpour, Director General of Public Relations of the Ministry of Health, told the 24 event website that the health system is ready to deal with the possible consequences of an attack on nuclear facilities, and "emergency preparedness, classification of patients and prediction of treatment measures" are already on the agenda.
Referring to the expected actions in the event of a radiation accident, he said: "If the Atomic Energy Organization confirms the presence of radioactive materials in the area, the first action will be a warning and then a warning."
Karamanpour also advised people "not to look into the light of the explosion" in such a situation and to "take shelter as soon as possible in a place where there are no doors, windows or entry of outside air".
He added that people who may have dust on their clothes should take off their clothes, put them in a plastic bag and then take a shower.
The Director General of Public Relations of the Ministry of Health also said about iodine tablets: "Iodine tablets should not be taken without reason" and if people use them unnecessarily and without the instructions of the authorities, "they may damage the thyroid gland".
