[ RadSafe ] Plutonium with High Concentrations Hazards

[Fritz A. Seiler]

Otto,

I appreciate your effort, bexause I could not trust myself to count all
those zeroes, 
nor could I trust you to have counted them properly at the time of
writing the number.
I just wonder now just how it was arrived at.  A small number of atoms
in the body, 
indeed, even though Avogadro's number at 10^27 is quite large.

Best regards,

Fritz

I don't know how to do scientific notation with Eudora, but the
solubility 
product constant for Pu(IV) is 10(^-50). I got it from Cleveland's book 
"The Chemistry of Plutonium".
