KI tablets to saturate the thyroid, but don't take so much as to kill yourself. Perhaps iodized salt will help, but that might be a lot of salt.
My hope has always been when a leader decided to push the button that those around them, or in charge of the button, decide that their cushy life is more valuable than the leader's cushy life. Or, more valuable than dying for the cause.
They're not a rational weapon, as they're a deterrent rather than anything else. But is war rational?

Everyone in the chain of command has to be willing to commit suicide. From the king to lowly button pusher. Hopefully, cooler heads prevail.
The Stanislav Petrov situation gives me some hope.

Willing to commit suicide… unless they’ve implemented a deadman’s switch, in which case it’s out of their hands.
For several years now I’ve worried that Putin is the kind of sociopath that would have us all die when he himself dies, even if by natural causes.
