The film implies Kate is poisoned with Polonium-204 and suggests it is more lethal than Polonium-210 (the better-known isotope), but that is incorrect. Polonium-210 is an alpha emitter, whereas Polonium-204 emits beta radiation. Alpha particles (helium nuclei) cause far greater damage within the body than beta particles (electrons). Kate would likely have survived Polonium-204 poisoning, but not poisoning by Polonium-210.
