What is the most fissionable material?
Plutonium-239 and Uranium-235
How is plutonium-239 produced in a breeder reactor?
When a fast-moving neutron hits a nonfissionable uranium-238 (U-238) nucleus and is absorbed, an atom of fissionable plutonium-239 (Pu-239) is produced.
Why use plutonium in nuclear reactors?
Plutonium is used as nuclear fuel for nuclear reactors. Plutonium isotopes (239, 241) are fissionable with thermal neutrons releasing an extremely great quantity of energy.
How made plutonium?
Plutonium is obtained in nuclear reactors:U-238(n,gamma).................U-239(beta)...................Np-239(beta).................Pu-239
How is plutonium synthesized?
Plutonium is obtained in nuclear reactors:U-238(n,gamma).................U-239(beta)...................Np-239(beta).................Pu-239
What is the most fissionable material?
Plutonium-239 and Uranium-235
Similarties between uranium-235 and plutonium-239 in nuclear reactors?
Uranium 235 and Plutonium 239 are fissile elements, fissionable with thermal neutrons.

What is Mass Of Plutonium 239 Atom?
PlutOnium 239 is an element - plutOnium - with an atomic weight of 239.
How many neutrons does a plutonium 239 contain?
Plutonium-239 has 145 neutrons.
How is neptunium used?
Neptunium-237 is fissionable, and can be used in reactors and bombs. We don't generally use it, however, as Uranium-235 and Plutonium-239 are preferred. Also, it can be used as neutron detectors.
How do you get the fissionable plutonium on Sims 2 for the Game Boy?
