simple, the bottom number that is missing is the atomic number. Pu is plutonium which happens to have the atomic number of 94. subtract the top number (mass number) and the atomic number and you get the amount of nuetrons, so the answer is 145 neutrons. (its an isotope)

Similarties between uranium-235 and plutonium-239 in nuclear reactors?

Uranium 235 and Plutonium 239 are fissile elements, fissionable with thermal neutrons.


How many protons and neutrons are in uranium-241?

Uranium is the 92nd element on the periodic table. That means there are 92 protons in 1 uranium atom, no matter which isotope. Protons are constant through an element. Every single atom of Uranium has 92 protons. Neutrons, however change with isotopes. 241 is the number of protons and neutrons together. So subtract 92 from 241 to get the number of neutrons in uranium 241

Is uranium 238 a slow or fast neutron absorber?

uranium 238 is a fast neutron absorber the answer is correct but for more explanation:- when uranium 238 is bombard by neutron >>> uranium 238 , undergoes B decay>>>Np 239 ,undergoes B decay >>> Pu 239 finally undergoes alpha decay >>> fissile U
