I had one set of humans who had developed ways to cope with heavy metals, and what wound up happening was secreting the lead into thin layers of holding cells in the fat, where it served as shielding against radiation. Not complete immunity, but a useful amount, and the lead was sequestered where it wouldn't to any harm.
