Beijing (CNN) -- Chinese shoppers in Beijing and Shanghai cleared salt from supermarkets shelves on Thursday morning amid fears of a potential radiation crisis from Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.

Government officials and experts attempted to calm fears by emphasizing that radiation levels in 41 cities across China remain normal.

Staff from multiple branches of the French supermarket chain Carrefour reported that their supplies of salt have been sold out since Thursday morning in Beijing.

A Shanghai branch reported the same.

Small, local and independently-run grocery stores in Beijing told CNN they have also run out of salt supplies for the first time in recent memory.

One customer in the eastern city of Ningbo told the nation's CCTV that she had purchased a five-year supply to placate her family's fears of radiation.

Iodide tablets were also snapped up at many pharmacies in Beijing and Shanghai as of Thursday morning, according to state-run China Daily.

In an attempt to dispel fears, China's Ministry of Environmental Protection released a chart on its website showing radiation levels in 41 cities across China fell within normal ranges.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advised individuals against taking potassium iodide tablets unless the government and public health officials recommend doing so.

Iodine in iodized salt is ineffective for preventing radiation effects, according to the World Health Organization.

It does not contain an adequate amount of the iodine necessary to prevent radioactive iodine from damaging the human thyroid gland. It would take 80 tablespoons of salt to make up one prophylactic, or preventative, iodide tablet.

Medical experts in Beijing say that radiation fears at this time are unfounded.

"Right now here in China there is no reason to panic," said oncologist Dr. Philip Brooks of Beijing United Family Hospital.

"Outside the immediate radiation area of the nuclear facility in Japan, the first thing is to stay calm and to realize there has been no significant exposure or expected exposure in the immediate vicinity now."

Brooks said there is no need to take precaution, and if the situation changes, the public will be notified.

"There is no medicine to be taking, they should not be taking potassium iodide," he said. "They should be just learning the facts."

Salt sold in China is largely iodized in step with a national policy to prevent iodine deficiency disorders.

The nation's major salt supplier, the China National Salt Industry Corp., assured a worried public that there are rich salt reserves to meet demand in the country and hoarding salt is unnecessary, Xinhua news agency said.

Supplies of potassium iodide, a preventive against radiation poisoning of the thyroid gland, are running low at some manufacturers, as Americans seek protection amid fears that radiation from Japan could head to the U.S., according to the companies.

One leading supplier, Anbex Inc., quickly sold out of its supply of more than 10,000 14-tablet packages on Saturday, said Alan Morris, president of the Williamsburg, Va., company.

He said the closely held firm was getting about three orders a minute for $10 packages of its Iosat pills, up from as few as three a week normally.

"Those who don't get it are crying. They're terrified," said Mr. Morris. The company tells callers that the likelihood of dangerous levels of radiation reaching the U.S. is low, but some callers, particularly on the West Coast, remain afraid, Mr. Morris said.

Interest is also high at Fleming Pharmaceuticals, a St. Louis County company that makes potassium iodide in liquid form. "It actually has been insanity here," said Deborah Fleming Wurdack, a co-owner.

The company hasn't accounted for all the recent orders, but Ms. Wurdack estimates the firm is getting dozens of calls an hour, along with emails, requesting the 45-milliliter ThyroShield bottles, which sell for $13.25 each.

Fleming Pharmaceuticals still has supply, but it expects to run out this week, Ms. Wurdack said. It is already planning to make a new round of the bottles, and to order the eyedroppers needed to dispense the solution.

Radioactive iodine can be accidentally released from a nuclear reactor.

Infants are especially at risk of injury, as are young children and people with small amounts of iodine in their thyroid.

Yet the risk is thought to be low that radiation released in Japan will reach the U.S. at dangerous levels. California and Washington state, for instance, have been reassuring residents that monitoring hasn't detected any harmful levels of radiation, and they don't it expect to.

"Japan has an evacuation area of about 12 miles from the nuclear plants. Washington state is 5,000 to 6,000 miles away from Japan," said Tim Church, a spokesman for the Washington State Department of Health.

Likewise, California's Department of Public Health has been advising residents to resist taking precautionary measures like buying potassium iodide, said spokesman Mike Sicilia.

The drug could cause side effects in people who are allergic to shellfish or suffer from thyroid problems, Mr. Sicilia said.

But the public-health agencies said they had been fielding calls from people asking if they should buy potassium iodide.

The drug information center at the University of Utah Hospitals and Clinics has also been receiving inquiries today from people asking about potassium iodide, said Erin Fox, manager of the organization's drug information service.

Purchase of potassium iodide doesn't require a prescription, Ms. Fox said.

Potassium iodide is a salt that stops the body from taking in radioactive iodine that can be emitted during a nuclear emergency.

It fills up the thyroid gland, preventing it from collecting the radioactive material and reducing the risk of cancer, among other things.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission says evacuation is the best protection, since it protects the entire body, but taking the medicine is helpful if that isn't possible.

The NRC has asked states with residents living within a 10-mile radius of a nuclear-power plant to consider potassium iodide, but hasn't ordered states to make the purchases.

Fleming has received orders from some states that are worried because their stockpiles of potassium iodide will expire in the near future, Ms. Wurdack said. Also making orders, she added, were hospitals and pharmacies.

北京(美联社)——中国购物者在北京和上海从超市货架上清除盐周四早上辐射的担忧潜在危机来自日本的党首福岛瑞穗第一核工厂。

政府官员和专家们试图通过强调冷静的恐惧,在41个城市的辐射水平在中国保持正常。

从多个分支机构工作人员的法国连锁超市家乐福报告他们的供应的盐已经卖完了自星期四上午在北京。

一个上海分公司报告了类似的。

小的地方,如食品杂货店在北京告诉CNN他们也跑出盐供应第一次在最近的记忆里。

一位顾客在东部城市宁波的中央电视台在对全国的讲话,因为她已购买了一份为期5年的供应来安抚她的家人的恐惧的辐射。

碘化物药片也被抢购一空,在许多药房在北京和上海的周四早晨,据官方的中国日报。

为了驱除恐惧、中国国家卫生部发布的环境保护在它的网站上显示出一张图表,在41个城市的辐射水平的下降在正常范围内中国各地。

美国疾病控制和预防中心建议钾碘化物个人对服用药片的人,除非政府和公共卫生部门职员推荐这样做。

在疾昃碘预防辐射效应是无效,据世界卫生组织。

它不含有适量的碘的必要的,以防止放射性碘甲状腺损害人类。它会采取80汤匙的盐构造了一个预防、或预防,碘片剂。

医疗专家在北京说,辐射的恐惧在这个时候都是毫无根据的。

“现在这里在中国没有理由惊慌,菲利普布鲁克斯说:“北京的肿瘤患病和睦家医院。

“外部直接辐射面积的核设施在日本的第一件事,是要保持镇静,实现一直没有意义的暴露或预计在暴露于立即接近了。”

布鲁克斯说没有必要采取预防措施,如果情况有变,公众会收到通知。

“是没有药物服用,他们不应该以钾碘化物,”他说。“他们应该只是学习事实。”

盐在中国出售在很大程度上iodized跟着一个全国性的政策来防止碘缺乏紊乱。

这个国家的主要盐供应商,中国盐业总公司、保证一个担心公众,有丰富的盐储备来满足需求,并在全国囤积盐是不必要的,新华社说。

供应的钾碘化物,一种预防中毒的抗辐射的甲状腺日渐减少,一些制造商,如美国人寻求保护,投资者担心辐射头从日本可以到美国,根据公司。

一个领先供应商,Anbex很快就销售一空的股份有限公司,其供给超过10,000人,14-tablet包裹在星期六,阿兰说莫里斯的主席,吉,他认为公司。

他说,公司正紧紧地握一分钟约三个订单的10元包药丸,从Iosat只有3一周正常。

“那些不让它正在哭泣。他们害怕啦,”莫里斯先生说。公司告诉打电话的人的可能性达到危险水平的辐射美国是低的,但有些人,特别是在西海岸,仍然害怕,先生莫里斯说。

兴趣也很高,在佛莱明药品至路易斯县公司做出钾碘化物在液体状态。“这其实已经疯狂到这里的,”说,黛博拉·弗莱明Wurdack合伙人。

公司并未占最近的所有的订单,但是女士Wurdack估计该公司正在数十个电话一小时,随着电子邮件,要求45-milliliter ThyroShield瓶、销售为$ 13.25每个。

佛莱明药品仍有供给,但它预计将耗尽这个星期,女士Wurdack说。它已经是计划新一轮的瓶子和订购的eyedroppers需要调剂解决问题的方法。

放射性碘可能被意外释放,从一个核反应堆。

婴儿特别容易受伤的危险,因为年轻的孩子和不多的人在他们的甲状腺碘。

但风险是被认为是低辐射日本公映将达到美国在危险的水平。加利福尼亚州和华盛顿州,例如,一直令人放心的居民,监测并没有发现任何有害水平的辐射,并且他们没有它有期待。

“日本已撤离的面积约12英里从核电站。华盛顿州远在5000至6000英里远的日本,”提姆说的教会,一个发言人华盛顿州卫生署。

同样地,加州的卫生部门已经通知的居民要克制自己像买钾碘化物的预防措施,Sicilia发言人迈克说。

该药物能引起副作用在对贝类过敏的人或者患有甲状腺问题,先生Sicilia说。

但是公共卫生机构说,他们被菲尔丁的电话,很多人问他们应该买钾碘化物。

药品信息中心,在犹他大学医院和诊所也被接受询问今天从人询问有关钾碘化物,说埃琳狐狸,经理组织的药物信息服务。

购买的钾碘化物不需要处方,女士狐狸说。

钾碘化物是一种盐停止,采取在身体所能发出的放射性碘在核战的紧急情况。

它填补了甲状腺,防止它从收集这些放射性物质及降低患癌症的风险,在其他事情上。

美国核管理委员会表示疏散是最好的保护,因为它能保护整个身体,但服用是很有用的,如果这是不可能的。

美国国家研究理事会已经要求与当地居民生活在一个10英里半径的一个核能厂考虑钾碘化物,但还未下令州,使采购。

从一些弗莱明已经接到命令各州的担心,因为他们会到期的库存钾碘化物在不久的将来,女士Wurdack说。她补充说,也使订单,是医院和药房。

并储存盐是不必要的,新华社说。
