Plutonium was discovered by Glenn T. Seaborg Edwin M. McMillan, Joseph W. Kennedy, and Arthur C. Wahl at the Berkeley Laboratory of the University of California (United States) after the bombardment of uranium with deuterons. Now plutonuim is obtained in the nuclear reactors.

Plutonium is also in traces in uranium minerals.

How is plutonium made through nature?

- Plutonium-238: from the beta double-decay of U-238 - Plutonium-239: from a nuclear reaction of U-238 with neutrons (neutrons from a spontaneous fission) - Plutonium-240: a radioactive decay product of Pu-244 - Plutonium-244: it is considered a primordial isotope for the Earth All these isotopes (of natural origin) exist in uranium ores in infinitesimal but today detectable concentrations.
