∙ 8y agoWork out e = m c squared, sticking to SI units (metres, kilograms, seconds):
e = 0.00023 x (2.998E8)^2
The answer is 2.067E13 Joules or 20.67 trillion Joules, which is 5742 Megawatt-hours from ¼ gram of Plutonium.

Why is plutonium radioactive?
No it does not. There are various types (isotopes) of plutonium. Plutonium 238, the weapons grade material, has a half life of 88 years. Meaning after 88 years half of the material has transforms into another element through radioactive decay. Plutonium-240 has a half life of ~80 Million years. But eventually all types of plutonium will decay into other elements. All radioactive elements will eventually decay into non-radioactive atoms given enough time.
What are nuclear power reactors and reprocessing plants?
In simple terms:Nuclear power reactor is an installation where nuclear fuel undergoes nuclear fission process resulting in thermal energy production. this thermal energy is transferred to reactor coolant system. Then the thermal energy converted into mechanical energy through turbines. The mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy through electric generators.Reprocessing plant is an installation where its feed (or input) is the irradiated nuclear fuel (called used fuel or spent fuel) that is discharged from the nuclear reactor. This fuel after successive mechanical and chemical processes is separated into uranium and plutonium (for reuse again) and radioactive waste to be disposed of using specific techniques according to their physical form and radioactivity level.
Radioactive particles blown through the air after nuclear explosions?
Fallout.
What energy is converted when you push a magnet move through a wire?
Kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy.
What is the spontaneous process through which unstable nuclei emit radiation?
Radioactive decay or radioactivity
How much energy would be released if kg of plutonium were converted to energy through radioactive decay?

What is plotonium?
You mean plutonium.... Plutonium is a radioactive substance which is a compound of Radon through fission energy made by Marie Curie.

Does all radioactive substances are manmade or artificial?
Radioactive elements both occur in nature (Uranium is the prime example) and are made through the works of man (Plutonium is man-made).
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.
What is a actinide?
Any of a series of chemically similar, radioactive elements with atomic numbers ranging from 89 (actinium) through 103 (lawrencium). they are outer transition elements All of these elements are radioactive, and two of the elements, uranium and plutonium, are used to generate nuclear energy
How much mass is lost through radioactive decay if 1.8 and times 1015 J are released?
0.02 kg
How much energy is released if 1 kg of mass is lost through radioactive?
9 x 10^16 J
How much energy is released is a sample loses 0.05 kg mass through radioactive decay?
4.5 × 1015 J
How much energy is released if a sample 0.025 kg mass through radioactive decay?
2.25 times 10 to the 15
What type of climate is plutonium found in?
Plutonium is not preferentially found in any climate. Except for negligible traces plutonium is produced in nuclear reactors. There are a few ways that it has escaped or been intentionally released from reactors into the environment:detonation of plutonium fueled nuclear explosives (e.g. 1945 through 1963)safety tests of plutonium fueled nuclear explosives (e,g, 1951 through 1963)fires in nuclear explosives materials and/or assembly plants (e.g. Rocky Flats)nuclear reactor accidents (e.g. Chernobyl and Fukushima)safety tests of experimental nuclear reactor designs
