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); the chemical form is plutonium dioxide.

• neutron generator, as Pu-Be source

For the characteristics see the link below.

Plutonium separation is not soluble in water. It is typically separated from other elements through chemical processes that involve the use of solvents or specific reagents to extract plutonium from the surrounding materials.


What is the Plutonium isotope composition of a nuclear bomb?

Typically, a nuclear bomb would use plutonium-239 as the primary isotope for fission. Plutonium-239 is preferred due to its high fissionability and ease of obtaining through processing in nuclear reactors. Small amounts of other plutonium isotopes, such as plutonium-240, may also be present due to the manufacturing process, but the majority would be plutonium-239.
