of chemical or biological agents. 
(8) Current treatment options for acute radi-
ation exposure are wholly inadequate, with potas-
sium iodide being the only widely stockpiled counter-
measure currently available. This treatment protects 
against the long-term risk of thyroid cancer, and 
does nothing to counteract short-term radiation sick-

exposure.

acute and long-term exposure of radiation are pres-

the destruction of bone marrow from acute radiation 
exposure.

measures to biological threats, including smallpox
