Not linear (or bent), and probably unlike most common oxides (see Rutile). how is this stuff made? elements are not capitalized. Smokefoot 19:53, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

and where does the plutonium oxalate come from?

If I remember correctly, the uranium(VI) and plutonium(IV) are extracted into nitric acid, then the plutonium is precipitated as the oxalate. see Nuclear reprocessing. Physchim62 (talk) 00:55, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Could someone please susbtantiate the claim that touching the material can result in serious injury? Of course it can, but not a quick touch? Or? --Kjetil Kjernsmo 14:59, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
