* Approx. 115 US $/kg of the unrefined oxide U3O8 (but not for the nuclear grade, which is more expensive) - in July 2011.
* The price of plutonium is probably 4 000 US $/g; the price depends on the isotopic composition and purity (nuclear fuel grade, weapons grade).

∙ 13y agoPlutonium-239 is an isotope of plutonium. Plutonium-239 is the primary fissile isotope used for the production of nuclear weapons, although uranium-235 has also been used and is currently the secondary isotope. Plutonium-239 is also one of the three main isotopes demonstrated usable as fuel in nuclear reactors, along with uranium-235 and uranium-233. Plutonium-239 has a half life of 24,200 years

How is uranium-238 converted to plutonium-239?
Each isotope of plutonium has its own decay scheme. Plutonium-239 is the most widely used isotope, and it undergoes alpha decay into uranium-235 with a half-life of 2.41 x 104 years (24,100 years). A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on plutonium.
