How are the materials in plutonium mined?
Plutonium is not mined; it is a man made element.
What happens when plutonium fuses with uranium to make a bomb?
Nothing special. Atomic bombs can be built with either uranium, plutonium, or composite (plutonium/uranium) cores. All work the same.
Which is the best fuel for nuclear bomb plutonium or uranium?
Plutonium
Is it easy to get uranium or plutonium?
It is relative easy to obtain uranium; the preparation of plutonium is more difficult and extremely dangerous.
How was astatine in the uranium ore mined?
Asttine is not mined.
What element is best suited for nuclear fission?
Plutonium, most likely, a man-made element, but mined Uranium will also do.
Is plutonium an alloy?
No, plutonium is not mined. Plutonium can be found accompanying uranium minerals but only in insignificant traces. Plutonium is obtained as an industrial product in nuclear reactors.
What are some examples of nuclear resources?
The chief one is uranium, which is found naturally and mined for new fuel. Another is plutonium which is formed from uranium during reactor operation.
How are the materials in plutonium mined?
Plutonium is not mined; it is a man made element.
Can uranium and plutonium bond?
Uranium and plutonium can form alloys.
Can plutonium combine with uranium?
Plutonium and uranium can form alloys.
Where does the nuclear plants get their uranium I heard it came from unarmed missiles is this true?
Australia and Canada supply newly mined uranium. In the US the reduction of nuclear weapons has made uranium and plutonium available and I think this is also being used. plutonium can be used with uranium in so called MOX fuel (mixed oxide fuel)
Is uranium mined in Australia?
Yes, uranium is mined in Australia it is mined in South Australia
Can you recycle uranium and plutonium?
Yes, it is possible to recycle "burned" uranium and plutonium.
What is smaller in radius uranium or plutonium?
The atomic radii of uranium and plutonium are identical.
Is plutonium limited?
Plutonium is obtained from uranium irradiated in nuclear reactors, consequently the production of plutonium depends on uranium resources.
What are the limitation of plutonium?
Plutonium is obtained from uranium irradiated in nuclear reactors, consequently the production of plutonium depends on uranium resources.
