Iodine tablets are used in a nuclear accident to saturate the thyroid with non radioactive iodine. During a nuclear accident, radioactive iodine is released and the critical organ in the human body is the thyroid gland. Therefore if the thyroid is already full of non radioactive iodine the radioactive iodine can not be absorbed.
To ensure that their bodies are not deficient in iodine.
If they are deficient, and there's an accident in the nuclear plant that leaks radioactive iodine, it will be absorbed by the body and stored there forever, radiating into the body and causing cancer.
It provides them with power, without polluting the environment like a fossil fuel power plant would.
The worst thing about nuclear energy is that it can kill people.

nuclear reaction are bad because it kill people who live near by, it can cause long term effect on the people who live for a nuclear explosion and it can be bad for environment too!

To prevent goiter. Iodine is necessary in the prevention of this typical decease. Preparations of this are included on people's meals living on highlands and mountainous regions due to unavailability of seafoods where iodine is likely derived.
People living in hilly areas may suffer from goitre due to iodine deficiency in the soil and water. This leads to insufficient iodine intake, which can negatively affect the thyroid gland, causing it to enlarge and result in goitre. Topographical factors can also influence the iodine content in food sources available to people in hilly regions.
There is no iodine in tea, and is recommended for people who need to be on low iodine diets.

The recent trends in the nuclear family is that people are giving birth to fewer children than it was in the past. This is because of the high standards of living.
iodine is used in medicine and can help and heal people. iodine is radioactictive and can cause cancer iodine is used in most of the foods we eat
no, it is added to help people from getting an iodine deficency
If a reactor's fuel is damaged by melting and the active fission products formed, like Iodine 131, are allowed to escape, people living nearby can be exposed to enough radiation to damage their health. Reactor design and operation is aimed at preventing this, and is generally very successful in doing so.

Not a good idea, to have too many people living closeby
The biggest concern among Ukrainians is radioactivity's effect on the thyroid gland. Many people still eat foods rich in Iodine as a prophylactic measure, or take iodine pills.
