Hi there here i found you an answer:
Plutonium was first produced and isolated in 1940 and was used to make the "Fat Man" atomic bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki at the end of World War II, just five years after it was first produced, said Amanda Simson, an assistant professor of chemical engineering at the University of New Haven
What else can I help you with?
Which atomic bomb used uranium and which used plutonium?
Hiroshima bomb: uranium Nagasaki bomb: plutonium
When where doodlebugs used?
WW2
Why was Oak Ridge Tennessee important to the production of the Atomic Bombs used in World War two?
Uranium enrichment plantsPrototype plutonium production reactor & design of plutonium production reactors used in Hanford, WA
What was the fuel used in the first nuclear bomb test?
In the test bomb, the material was plutonium. Plutonium was also used in one of the bombs dropped on Japan, Fat Man. Little Boy, the bomb dropped on Nagasaki, was made of uranium.
When was the first nuclear weapon used?
1945 ending ww2
What element is used in the original nuclear weapons created in the 1940s?
Both Uranium-235 and Plutonium-239 were used to fuel the WW2 fission bombs. Both are still used, although there is a preference for Plutonium now.
Which was the original element used in bombs?
If we are talking about the nuclear bombs used in ww2, 1 plutonium bomb and 1 uranium bomb.
When was plutonium gallium alloy made?
This alloy was obtained during the WW2 at Los Alamos.

How is plutonium used in gold mining?
Plutonium is not commonly used in gold mining. Plutonium is a highly radioactive element that is used in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons, but it is not typically associated with gold mining processes.
How much plutonium was USED in little boy?
The Little Boy atomic bomb used about 64 kilograms (141 pounds) of highly-enriched uranium-235, not plutonium. Plutonium was used in the Fat Man bomb, which used about 6.2 kilograms (13.6 pounds) of plutonium.
Is plutonium used in brightly colored paint?
