DOE-STD-1136-2004
Guide of Good Practices for Occupational Radiological Protection in Uranium Facilities
where ras(t)is the systemic retention per unit intake and t is the time in days after intake of uranium. Of the
uranium entering the transfer compartment, 0.673 is directly excreted (Tb of 0.25 d), 0.007 is translocated
to red blood cells (Tb of 1.1 d), 0.08 is translocated to kidneys (Tb of 6 d), 0.07 is translocated to soft
tissues (Tb of 26 d), and 0.15 and 0.02 are translocated to mineral bone (Tb of 300 and 3700 d,
respectively). The parameter values for this function are summarized in Table 5-10.

5.6.3.3 Urinary Excretion of Uranium
There currently are three possible urinary excretion functions for uranium compounds: the ICRP
Publication 30, Wrenn-Lipsztein, and the Fisher-Modified Wrenn-Lipsztein models. Professional
judgement must be used in selecting one of these functions as the primary function to be used in routine
bioassays in this internal dosimetry program and as the function of choice in individual dose assessments.
The value of fractional urinary excretion used to evaluate bioassay data is f u = 1.0 (ICRP, 1988b).
5.6.3.4 ICRP Publication 30 Uranium Urinary Excretion Function
The derivative of the ICRP uranium retention function with respect to time multiplied by a urinary
excretion fraction (fu) of 1.0 describes the urinary excretion of uranium. The urinary excretion is as
follows:
(5.3)
where e  iu(t) is the fractional urinary excretion rate per unit intake as a function of time t after a single
intake of uranium. The parameter values for this function are summarized in Table 5-11.
