1.	Carcinogenesis 01/01/1994 - "Plutonium-242, as a neutralized nitrate in phosphate buffer, was 4.8-fold more efficient than iron at catalyzing the oxidation of ascorbate at pH 7. The results suggest that plutonium complexes could participate in reactions at pH 7 that induce oxidative stress--a significant tumor-promoting factor in generally accepted models of carcinogenesis."
