Plutonium is obtained in nuclear reactors:
U-238(n,gamma).................U-239(beta)...................Np-239(beta).................Pu-239
Plutonium is not obtained it must be made.
We cannot buy plutonium; the transfer of plutonium is strictly controlled.
If it is man made, plutonium is prepared by human beings in nuclear reactors and recycling plants.
Fantasy. Plutonium kills humans.
Yes, plutonium is an artificial element, man made.
Plutonium was discovered in USA (Berkeley) by Glenn Seaborg and Edwin McMillan in 1940.

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.
Yes, plutonium is a man-made element. It is primarily produced in nuclear reactors by bombarding uranium-238 with neutrons. Isotopes of plutonium are used in the production of nuclear weapons and as fuel in nuclear reactors.
