The half life of plutonium-235 is 25,3(5) minutes.
The daughter isotope of Pu-239 is U-235.
The first step is an alpha decay to (guess what!) uranium 235. You can probably take it from there.
Illadelph Halflife was created on 1996-09-24.
High level nuclear waste consists of fuel that has been used and discharged. It probably contains about 1 percent U-235, some highly active fission products, some plutonium, and the rest (the majority) U-238. The fission products are of no use, except possibly for medical or industrial purposes. The plutonium if separated out could be used to make mixed oxide fuel (MOX). The uranium with a small amount of U-235 could be put through an enrichment plant to increase the U-235 content. Low enriched uranium could also be used in heavy water reactors (CANDU). None of these things can be done however without a spent fuel processing plant which does not exist in the US (not for commercial fuel anyway)
The half life is different for each isotope of plutonium; name the isotope for a calculation.
Plutonium-235 is relatively rare compared to plutonium-239, which is the more common isotope of plutonium. Plutonium-235 makes up less than 1% of naturally occurring plutonium. It is typically produced in nuclear reactors through the neutron capture process.
unfathomably
Uranium 235 and Plutonium 239 are fissile elements, fissionable with thermal neutrons.
Yes, plutonium-239 emits alpha particles by decay.
Uranium-235 and plutonium-239 were the two radioactive elements chosen for the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
There are two materials that can be used to make an atomic bomb: Plutonium-239 and uranium-235. Of the two plutonium-239 is easier to acquire. By the end of the Manhattan Project the U.S. only had enough uranium-235 to make one bomb, and that was Little Boy.

Plutonium-239 is generally considered more dangerous than uranium-235 because it is highly toxic and poses a greater risk of radiation exposure. Plutonium-239 is a significant nuclear proliferation concern due to its use in nuclear weapons.
