Don't Dunk that Staticmaster

The Staticmaster uses POLONIUM. I don't know if it binds to Calcium or
not. I don't even know its decay path--ie, what various elements it
turns into as it decays, if any. As you may know, Uranium for instance,
goes through lots of different transitions, including Radon and Lead.
