Abstract
Hypothesis: Current soil contamination limits for non-enriched uranium are not consistent and are not optimized to allow the beneficial use of uranium while protecting the health of the public. Objective: Assess available health impact data regarding non-enriched uranium ingestion and inhalation as well as past soil contamination recommendations to determine if the regulatory limits for uranium are optimized, as recommended by the ICRP. Provide supporting data for keeping current soil contamination limits for non-enriched uranium, or suggest new limits based upon chemical uptake ratios.
