What else can I help you with?
Were is plutonium found?
An insignificant amount of plutonium exists in nature. Mostly, plutonium is obtained from nuclear reactions caused by humans.
Where do you find plutonium in nature?
its an element, so yes, any thing that's not manufactured by man is natural, therefore found in nature. It is not, however, found unless forced by man; so for most practical purposes it is not found in nature.
Is plutonium found free or is it chemically combined in nature?
Plutonium exist in extremely low concentrations in uranium minerals; the chemical form is probably plutonium dioxide or a complex oxide with uranium.
Where in the world can Plutonium be found?
Plutonium can be found in a variety of different locations. Trace elements can be found everywhere in nature. They tend to be found in concentrated form near uranium ores, e.g. the Cigar Lake mine in Canada.
How is plutonium found in nature?
Plutonium can be found accompanying uranium minerals but only in insignificant traces. Plutonium is obtained as an industrial product in nuclear reactors. A low pollution from nuclear facilities or nuclear weapons tests exist in the environment now. The chemical form is probably plutonium dioxide.
Where plutonium foun d?
Plutonium is found in the nature only as ultra-traces accompanying uranium minerals. Plutonium is obtained in industrial quantities in the nuclear reactors technology, by reprocessing of the burned nuclear fuels.
Is plutonium a natural or synthetic element?
Plutonium is an artificial element; natural plutonium exist only in extremely traces.
Is plutonium easy to find?
In the nature uranium is found associated with uranium ores but in extremely ultratraces. Plutonium is obtained in industrial quantities, by nuclear reactions, in nuclear reactors.
How does plutonium occur in nature?
- Natural plutonium (plutonium isotopes 238, 239, 240, 244) exist in nature as extremely traces associated with uranium ores- Artificial isotopes of plutonium (the most important being Pu-239) have the origin in nuclear weapons tests
Is plutonium a compound or a mixture?
Plutonium is a chemical element, not a compound or mixture.
An element produced inside a nuclear reactor?
Plutonium, an element not found in nature, is formed from uranium during reactor operation
In what form is plutonium found?
Plutonium is a solid metal.
