There is no "safe" level of radiation but the treatment of a goiter using radioactive Iodine is not a big risk because the thyroid gland takes up almost all of the radioactive Iodine very quickly so it doesn't keep 'floating' around the body. See this link: http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/iodide+goiter for additional information.
