Skeletal effects can be expected to occur with high specific activity
uranium tsotope such as 233 (half-life = 1.6 x 105 yrs; specific activity
© 10 millicuries per gram) or 232U (half-life © 72 yrs; specific activity =
37.7 curtes per gran).
Indeed, injection of each of these two uranium
isotopes was shown to produce bone cancers in mice (Finkel, 1953).
vrantum, however, showed no induction of bone tumors.
