The physician was provided with information regarding the toxicology of uranium, endogenous levels in humans, and detection technology. As indicated elsewhere in this report, the Registries maintain a home page as a public service. During the period from May through September, there were 1201 outside visitors, or an average of 240 visits per month during the first five months that the counter was in operation. No programmatic changes were recommended by the Board. Of this number 350 were deceased and 292 were classified as active.
Active registrants are persons with current valid informed consent and release forms on file.
The remaining 243 individuals are inactive registrants, or persons who are no longer participants in the program, whether by their own request or for other reasons. For example, if the Registries are not notified of the death of a registrant in a timely manner, it may not be feasible or even possible to perform an autopsy and collect tissues. In this case, the registrant would be classified as inactive. Similarly, tissues from an active registrant who dies and who has a positive or potentially positive test for hepatitis B or HIV would be refused and the registrant would be classified as inactive.
