The carcinogenicity of injected soluble plutonium ((239)Pu) citrate was investigated in life-span animal experiments using mice of three strains, C3H, C57BL/6 and their hybrid BC3F(1), that have different spectra of spontaneous and radiation-induced tumors. Bone tumors, mostly osteosarcomas, were induced at skeletal doses of 0.6 to 0.7 Gy, and the incidence increased markedly at doses of 2 to 4 Gy in all strains,...
