- Plutonium-238: from the beta double-decay of U-238
- Plutonium-239: from a nuclear reaction of U-238 with neutrons (neutrons from a spontaneous fission)
- Plutonium-240: a radioactive decay product of Pu-244
- Plutonium-244: it is considered a primordial isotope for the Earth
All these isotopes (of natural origin) exist in uranium ores in infinitesimal but today detectable concentrations.

What element is radioactive and synthetic plutonium xenon barium or cesium?
Plutonium is a radioactive chemical element; practically all plutonium is man made - in the nature plutonium is extremely rare.
What would happen if Pluto was made of plutonium?
Plutonium doesn't occur in nature as far as we know, but if Pluto were made of solid Plutonium, nothing would happen. Pluto is not near anything that might be affected.
Does all radioactive substances are manmade or artificial?
Radioactive elements both occur in nature (Uranium is the prime example) and are made through the works of man (Plutonium is man-made).
What is plotonium?
You mean plutonium.... Plutonium is a radioactive substance which is a compound of Radon through fission energy made by Marie Curie.
Were is plutonium found?
An insignificant amount of plutonium exists in nature. Mostly, plutonium is obtained from nuclear reactions caused by humans.
Is californum find in nature?
no the reason why is what i told you if plutonium exist 1 the periodic table and 2it is man made
Where is plutonium found in nature?
Natural isotopes of plutonium exist only in traces in uranium ores.
How does plutonium occur in nature?
- Natural plutonium (plutonium isotopes 238, 239, 240, 244) exist in nature as extremely traces associated with uranium ores- Artificial isotopes of plutonium (the most important being Pu-239) have the origin in nuclear weapons tests
Where do you find plutonium in nature?
its an element, so yes, any thing that's not manufactured by man is natural, therefore found in nature. It is not, however, found unless forced by man; so for most practical purposes it is not found in nature.
Where us plutonium obtained from?
Plutonium is not obtained it must be made.
Is Pitchblende an ore of plutonium?
No. Pitchblende is an ore of Uranium. It's been a long time since plutonium occured in nature.
Where can you buy artificial or man made plutonium?
We cannot buy plutonium; the transfer of plutonium is strictly controlled.
