Chemists, engineers, electronic specialists, physicists: to make nuclear fuels, nuclear weapons, radioisotopic source of heat or electricity etc.
Applications of plutonium: * nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors; can contribute to use uranium-238 which is fertile.Disadvantages of plutonium:- plutonium is radioactive - plutonium is toxic - plutonium is flammable - in some conditions (of mass and geometric form) plutonium can reach the critical mass
Plutonium is used as nuclear fuel for nuclear reactors. Plutonium isotopes (239, 241) are fissionable with thermal neutrons releasing an extremely great quantity of energy.
Plutonium is the core of a nuclear weapon; the nuclear fission release an enormous quantity of energy and radiations.
Examples are: plutonium metal, isotope Pu-238, plutonium dioxide, plutonium sulfide, plutonium nitrate, plutonium carbide etc.
Plutonium chemical properties:- plutonium is a reactive metal: the Pauling electronegativity is 1,28- plutonium is flammable- plutonium has six allotropes- plutonium in compounds has valences from 2 to 7- plutonium is very toxic
There's no plutonium here. I haven't even seen any plutonium, recently.
Plutonium is not used in the human body.
Plutonium hasn't any biological use.
Plutonium is stored in strictly controlled areas.
plutonium + weapon
The first use of plutonium was as nuclear weapon; United States was the first country to use these weapons against Japan.

Uranium and plutonium can be used as nuclear fuels for nuclear reactors.
Works with plutonium are permitted only in isolated hot cells.
Plutonium is not for use at home or in schools; work with plutonium is very dangerous, possible only in special laboratories with hot cells; also plutonium is strictly controlled by the state authorities.
Of course,no.
They use it to make different kinds of gasoline
