plutonium
The name plutonium is derived from the name of the dwarf planet Pluto; dwarf planet Pluto is after planet Neptune in the Solar system and plutonium is after neptunium in the periodic table of Mendeleev. Applications of plutonium include: • explosive in nuclear weapons • nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors (as plutonium dioxide, carbide or MOX) • 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
Plutonium (symbol Pu) was discovered by Glenn T. Seaborg, Edwin M. McMillan, Joseph W. Kennedy and Arthur C. Wahl at the Berkeley Laboratory of the University of California (United States) after the bombardment of uranium with deuterons, in 1940. Now plutonium is obtained in the nuclear reactors. Plutonium is also in traces in uranium minerals.
