What is Plutonium 241 and its uses?
Plutonium is a fissile isotope of plutonium; by fission Pu-241 release energy in nuclear reactors.
What are uses for plutonium chloride?
Now only laboratory/research use; in the past plutonium chloride was proposed as nuclear furel in a molten salts type nuclear reactor.
What is the difference between plutonium weapon and uranium weapons?
The obvious difference is a plutonium weapon uses plutonium as its fuel while a uranium weapon uses uranium as its fuel, however there are also composite weapons that use both as their fuel. Plutonium, being produced in reactors has some degree of plutonium-240 and plutonium-241 as undesired contaminates that can cause a fizzle. So weapons made with plutonium must be assembled much more rapidly than uranium weapons. So uranium weapons can use either gun or implosion rapid assembly systems, but weapons using any amount of plutonium must use implosion rapid assembly systems.
