While this is true, a fecal sample is even more likely to contain
significant amounts of dietary uranium.

Gus,

Your point about the 500 day clearance is just the reason why a fecal sample
at 
a time post exposure, after other compartments have cleared (i.e. two weeks
or 
so), is a very good method for determining/assessing intakes.  The fecal
sample 
can also be analyzed for isotopic considerations if that is
necessary/warranted.

P.S.  Did you see the picture in the Lowell Alumni magazine?
