How was the plutonium discovered?
The first nuclear reaction used to obtain plutonium:238U + n-------239U-------239Np + e--------239Pu + e
What is the nuclear decay equation for plutonium 239?
The first step is an alpha decay to (guess what!) uranium 235. You can probably take it from there.
What element is converted to plutonium to make the first nuclear reactors?
Uranium-238 is converted to plutonium-239 in nuclear reactors by absorbing neutrons, which then undergo fission reactions. This conversion process is a key aspect of nuclear reactor operation, particularly in breeder reactors where new fuel is produced while generating energy.
When did England get nuclear weapons?
The UK was the third country to obtain nuclear weapons, after the US and the USSR. The UK had its first successful nuclear weapon test in October 1952, a plutonium warhead similar to the one dropped on Nagasaki.
What was the atomic bomb tested at trinity?

Where did plutonium originate from?
Plutonium was prepared for the first time in December 1940 at Berkeley Laboratory by Glenn Seaborg and collaborators using this nuclear reaction:U-238 + D........Np-238 + 2 n.........Pu-238 + e-
