The authors wish to make the following amendments to their paper published in International Journal of Environmnetal Research and Public Health [1]:
  • Page 4170, line 11, the sentence “The continental wide average wind speed at altitude of 80 miles falls between 8 and 23.5 miles/h [54]. Therefore, in a 24 h period radioactive plumes can disperse anywhere in the continental United States between 192 to 564 m, assuming…” should read “The continental wide average wind speed at an altitude of 80 meters falls between 8 and 23.5 miles/h [54]. Therefore, in a 24 h period radioactive plumes can disperse anywhere in the continental United States between 192 to 564 miles, assuming...”.
  • Page 4176, Table 5, the items under “Governmental Body/Agency”: “Federal Emergenct Management Agency” should read “Federal Emergency Management Agency”, “Food and Drug Agency” should read “Food and Drug Administration”. The correct Table 5 should be:
    Table 5. Governmental body/agency, KI usage and emergency preparedness recommendations.
