Each isotope of plutonium has its own decay scheme. Plutonium-239 is the most widely used isotope, and it undergoes alpha decay into uranium-235 with a half-life of 2.41 x 104 years (24,100 years). A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on plutonium.
The chain of nuclear reactions is: 23892U + 10n ----? 23992U --- ?- -? 23993Np --- ?- -? 23994Pu
Uranium-238 captures a neutron becoming Uranium-239.
Uranium-239 decays via beta decay becoming Neptunium-239.
Neptunium-239 decays via beta decay becoming Plutonium-239.
The chain of nuclear reactions is: 23892U + 10n ----→ 23992U --- β- -→ 23993Np --- β- -→ 23994Pu
The nuclear reactions are:
238 239 239 239
92U + 0n ----------92U----------β-------- 93Np---------β-------94Pu
Yes, the nuclear reactions are the following:
23892U + n-------23992U-------23993Np + e--------23994Pu + e
The nuclear reactions are:
238U + n-------239U-------239Np + e--------239Pu + e

Uranium238
Nuclear energy as used in power plants results from fission of uranium235 and plutonium239
From the fissioning of the nuclei of uranium235 and plutonium239. The energy released appears as thermal energy in the surrounding fuel material
Nuclear energy is energy released either by fissioning of heavy nuclei such as Uranium235 or Plutonium239, or by fusion of light isotopes such as those of hydrogen.
To make a nuclear bomb, you need the fissionable material such as a Plutonium239 isotope, an explosive to start the nuclear chain reaction, a detonator, and a pusher.
Essentially all of the atom's mass is in the nucleus. In the lightest atom, that of hydrogen, it's about 99.95 percent. In the heaviest naturally occurring atom, that of Uranium238, it's about 99.979 percent.
These are the constituents of atoms. Nuclei are made up of protons and neutrons. Useful nuclear energy is only obtained from a few nuclei which can be made to fission and release energy. The two main ones are Uranium235 and Plutonium239.
Any of the wasted energy that is not converted to light will be converted to heat.Any of the wasted energy that is not converted to light will be converted to heat.Any of the wasted energy that is not converted to light will be converted to heat.Any of the wasted energy that is not converted to light will be converted to heat.
The answer will depend on converted to WHAT.
Converted is a verb.
It depends on converted to WHAT!
