Plutonium occur in deposits of uranium ores but only in ultratraces. In the nature plutonium appear as a result of spontaneous natural fission of uranium isotopes a process with a very low cross section.

Why does plutonium not occur in appreciable amounts you natural ore deposits?

- The production of plutonium isotopes 238 and 239 in uranium ores by natural nuclear processes is very rare. - The primordial isotope Pu-244 (and the decay product Pu-240) disappear during the time.


What mine is used when ore deposits occur in veins?

Underground mining is typically used when ore deposits occur in veins. This method involves underground tunnels and shafts to access the ore deposits. Miners can follow the vein and extract the valuable minerals for processing.

Where does fission naturally acure?

Fission naturally occurs in certain heavy isotopes, such as uranium-235 and plutonium-239, primarily within the Earth's crust in uranium ore deposits. It can also take place in nuclear reactors and during the explosive processes of supernovae. Additionally, spontaneous fission can occur in very heavy elements like californium-252. However, the most notable natural fission event is found in natural reactors, such as the natural nuclear fission reactor at Oklo in Gabon, which operated about 2 billion years ago.

Is Pitchblende an ore of plutonium?

Yes, pitchblende is an important ore of uranium which also contains traces of other radioactive elements like radium and thorium. Plutonium can be produced artificially from uranium but is not naturally found in pitchblende.


What are the definition of Ore reserves and ore resources?

Ores are a non-renewable natural resources, therefore a resources of a particular ore refers to the total amount present on the earth, as for reserves this is the known deposits which are recoverable under current technogical and economic climate.
