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.
The name plutonium is derived from the name of the dwarf planet Pluto; dwarf planet Pluto is after planet Neptune in the Solar system and plutonium is after neptunium in the periodic table of Mendeleev.

Plutonium (symbol Pu) 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, in 1940. Now plutonium is obtained in the nuclear reactors. Plutonium is also in traces in uranium minerals.
Plutonium was discovered at Berkeley, USA in 1940.
Plutonium was discovered on 14 December 1940 at Berkeley, USA.
The planet Pluto.
Plutonium is an artificial element; traces (extremely low) of plutonium isotopes of natural origin exist in uranium ores. Plutonium is used in nuclear weapons and nuclear fuels.
- 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.

- Natural plutonium (plutonium isotopes 238, 239, 240, 244) exist in nature as extremely traces associated with uranium ores- Artificial isotopes of plutonium (the most important being Pu-239) have the origin in nuclear weapons tests
Examples: PuO2, plutonium nitrate, plutonium carbide, plutonium chloride, plutonium fluoride etc.
Some plutonium chemical compounds; plutonium dioxide, plutonium nitride, plutonium carbide, plutonium nitrate, plutonium trifluoride, plutonium chloride, etc.
There's no plutonium here. I haven't even seen any plutonium, recently.
