What is plutonium abundance earth's crust?

Only a trace of plutonium is naturally found in the earth's crust. And it is always found with uranium because it is made by uranium's spontaneous fission, neutron release, and the subsequent neutron capture by another uranium nucleus to form the plutonium atom. Plutonium is not formed by the death of a star in a super nova like uranium is. Uranium is the heaviest element formed in that event. That's why there isn't any plutonium around as an ore. Just the trace amounts found with uranium. We're lucky there isn't a lot of plutonium around. It is highly toxic owing to its hightly radioactive nature. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on plutonium.


How abundant is plutonium in the universe the sun meteorites earth's crust and oceans?

It is known that uranium 238 is found in meteorites and Plutonium 242 is found in very small amounts naturally in Uranium ores here on earth. So I would take a guess that in meteorites where uranium is found, tiny amounts of plutonium 242 will also be found.


What is the geographic location of plutonium?

Plutonium exist in the Earth crust only as traces: near nuclear weapons test zones, near uranium mines or nuclear fuels recycling facilities.
