It's Potassium Iodide (Ki), and if you get more than a few hundred rads of radiation, drink it. Seriously. It tastes like crap, but it's better than glowing. The Ki goes straight to your thyroid and fills it with non-radioactive iodine to keep out the radioactive iodine (WTF? Exactly.) Here's a link to the CDC- http://www.bt.cdc.gov/radiation/ki.asp
