Why does plutonium not occur in natural ore deposits?

Plutonium occur in deposits of uranium ores but only in ultratraces. In the nature plutonium appear as a result of spontaneous natural fission of uranium isotopes a process with a very low cross section.

Is plutonium rare where is it most abundant?

Plutonium is an artificial chemical element, obtained by nuclear reactions and separated by reprocessing of burned nuclear fuel - as a byproduct plutonium is not so rare. Plutonium is found in the nature with some uranium ores, but only in ultratraces.


Why does plutonium have a less mass than uranium?
