 * It doesn't matter. You could "end like Mr. Litvinenko" with plutonium or polonium. Tim Q. Wells (talk) 05:44, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Plutonium is not nearly as toxic as polonium. --Mr.98 (talk) 16:24, 17 October 2009 (UTC)


 * It's undoubtedly taken through the port of a glovebox. So yes, you are probably wrong about them being dead. --Mr.98 (talk) 16:24, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
