Applications of plutonium:
• explosive in nuclear weapons
• nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors
• the isotope 238Pu is used as energy source in spacecrafts or other applications (radioisotope thermoelectric generators)
• neutron generator, as Pu-Be source
Plutonium was used in the Trinity test, Uranium in the first combat weapon.
You probably are thinking of plutonium
Apparently it was plutonium which I think is element 295.Plutonium is element 94.Plutonium was used in the Gadget at Trinity.Uranium was used in the first bomb dropped on Japan the Little Boy at Hiroshima.Plutonium was used in the second bomb dropped on Japan the Fatman at Nagasaki.
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.
Plutonium is not commonly used in gold mining. Plutonium is a highly radioactive element that is used in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons, but it is not typically associated with gold mining processes.
they used uranium and plutonium.
Plutonium is an artificial element; traces (extremely low) of plutonium isotopes of natural origin exist in uranium ores. Plutonium is used in nuclear weapons and nuclear fuels.
Uranium is the main fuel used, but in some countries a mixture of uranium and plutonium is also used (MOX fuel)
Plutonium
Uranium and plutonium.
Plutonium is the radioactive element named after the god of the underworld, Pluto. It is used in nuclear reactors and weapons due to its high radioactivity.
Plutonium is the metallic element used in nuclear weapons. It is highly fissile, meaning it can undergo nuclear fission and sustain a chain reaction in a nuclear bomb.
