.B.1 Brief Description of Work Entitled " Reversibility of hephrotoxic Effects of Uranyl Uranium at 5-15 ug g-1 Renal Levels" l
A study to determine how long the renal toxic threshold concentration for uranyl uranium can be maintained before irreversible damage is produced.
In the development of the uranium bioassay model, NRC assumes that the nephrotoxic limit could be exceeded for two weeks without 4
producing irreversible kidney damage as long as the uranium concentration is less than a factor of five higher than this limit.
In order to evaluate the basis for this assumption, a study to evaluate biochemical, functional, and histopathological abnomalities in an animal model following exposure to uranium is needed.

C.1 Statement of Work C.1.1
Background
In order to monitor workers at uranium-processing facilities for intake of uranium by inhalation or ingestion, licensees are required to perform bioassays at specified frequencies.
These bioassays consist of measurements of the amount of uranium in urine samples.
The selection of the bioassay frequencies, i.e., the time intervals between successive bioassays, depends on a number of factors.
In deriving the bioassay model for uranium, NRC staff assumed that the nephrotoxic limit, i.e.,
the concentration of uranium in the kidney which causes damage, could persist for two weeks without causing irreversible damage, as long as i
the concentration was less than a factor of five greater than the nephrotoxic limit.
Recent studies of the effects of inhalation of uranium hexafluoride by rats and dogs call into question this assumption.
The concept of re-1 i
.--m n

.-w,
,,,.,_m,,->--,.,-1
Page 3 versibility of kidney damage was shown to be uncertain.
Therefom, it is important for NRC to fund a study to detemine if the.present value for the nephrotoxic limit is correct and by how much and how long it can be exceeded without producing irreversible injury.
C.I.2 Objectives The purpose of this contract is to study the kidney damage resulting from intake of uranium by laboratory animals. The effects of the levels of uranium deposited in the kidney and the length of time they persist will be investigated.
C.I.3 Scope of Work Because the NRC needs to issue a regulatory guide dealing with bioassay for workers at uranium-pmcessing facilities which will take into account the findings concerning the reversibility of kidney damage, a rigorous study of nephrotoxicity is required.
i The contractor shall study the kidney damage resulting from the intake of uranium in laboratory,from 3 micrograms U per rats.
A series of uranium dosages such that kidney levels will vary i
i 1
presently accepted value for the nephrotoxic limit) gram of kidney (the to 15 micrograms U i
per gram of kidney will be administered. Tests for kidney function. will be made either daily or weekly depending on which test is being perfomed.
At selected intervals, rats from e'ach group, as well as control rats, will be sacrificed and kidneys will be removed.
Kidney j
tissues will be processed for histopathological examination and for detemination of uranium concentration.
Based on information about the i
regenerative ability of the kidney, the duration of the experiment is expected to be 90 days.
Biochemical and functional results will be analyzed statistically to compare exposed rats with control rats.
Histopathological results will be assessed for presence or absence of abnonnalities.
Based on these 1
results, the value of the nephrotoxic limit and the time pattern for reversibility of injury will be detemined.
l-3 C.2 Level of Effort The NRC's estimate of the total of scientific, technical, and clerical effort for this project is approximately - 1.4 staff-years.

infonnation is ' advisory and is not to be considered as the sole basis for the development of your staffing plans.
