Increasing iodine intake is to prevent the take-up of radioactive iodine, which would get concentrated in your thyroid.
But if you did need to (if the exposure was partly due to radioactive iodine and not just other radioactive elements), you'd need a lot more than is in iodised salt.

Recommended adult dose is 130mg/day while there's danger of exposure to radioactive iodine.
