What can plutonium make?
Plutonium can be used in fuel rods for generation nuclear energy. Plutonium can also be used to create an atomic bomb. Simply bring enough plutonium together in a single contained pile, and the critical mass creates a chain reaction liberating nuclear energy through a fission reaction resulting in a tremendous explosion.
