Washington State University College of Pharmacy

United States Transuranium & Uranium Registries

Mission of the USTUR

The mission of the USTUR is to study the uptake, translocation and retention (biokinetics) and tissue dosimetry of uranium, plutonium, americium, and other actinides in occupationally exposed humans (workers), over their whole lifetime (from exposure through full lifespan), and to serve as a national and international resource for testing and improving the application of excreta monitoring and other contemporary bioassay data to predict tissue dose rates measured at autopsy.  These studies are fundamental to evaluating and improving the reliability of, and confidence in, both prospective and retrospective assessments of tissue doses and risks from intakes of actinide materials through inhalation, ingestion, or contaminated wounds.
