What else can I help you with?
What is smaller in radius uranium or plutonium?
The atomic radii of uranium and plutonium are identical.
What does uranium and plutonium do inside a bomb?
The critical mass of plutonium is lower, plutonium is not so expensive as highly enriched uranium, the technology to obtain plutonium is more simple than the isotopic separa-tion of uranium, etc.
Why does plutonium have a less mass then uranium?
Plutonium generally has a lower atomic mass compared to uranium because it has fewer protons and neutrons in its nucleus. Plutonium isotopes tend to have a smaller number of nucleons overall compared to most uranium isotopes, resulting in a lower atomic mass.
Can uranium and plutonium bond?
Uranium and plutonium can form alloys.
Can plutonium combine with uranium?
Plutonium and uranium can form alloys.
Is plutonium more powerful then uranium?
Plutonium is more dangerous: the specific activity is greater, the critical mass is smaller, the chemical toxicity is greater.
Can you recycle uranium and plutonium?
Yes, it is possible to recycle "burned" uranium and plutonium.
Is plutonium limited?
Plutonium is obtained from uranium irradiated in nuclear reactors, consequently the production of plutonium depends on uranium resources.
Are uranium and plutonium easily obtained?
Uranium is not easily obtained; and the technology of plutonium is extremely difficult.
Is plutonium more powerful than uranium?
Yes, plutonium is generally considered to be more powerful than uranium because it is a more efficient fuel for nuclear reactors and can sustain nuclear chain reactions more easily. Additionally, certain isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear weapons due to their high explosive potential.
Is plutonium and enriched uranium the same thing?
Plutonium and enriched uranium are different materials.Enriched uranium is uranium with a concentration of the isotope 235U greater than the natural concentration of 0,7 %.
Which atomic bomb used uranium and which used plutonium?
Hiroshima bomb: uranium Nagasaki bomb: plutonium
