The non-U contaminant nuclides do not dilute in the GDP process lines,
but rather the reverse.

To inhale the ALI of Pu at the concentrations found in 1988 U at
Hanford,
you would need to inhale 15 grams of U (0.4 nCi/g) at the minimum,  I
believe Gene Carbaugh said this a considered a maximum concentration, so
the
actual concentration required may have been orders of magnitudes higher.
Also, there would have been a significant dilution in the GDP process
lines
from purely natural U.
