Approx. 4ooo US $ per gram for nuclear weapons quality plutonium; the price for nuclear reactors grade plutonium is lower.
A quart of plutonium would weigh approximately 132 pounds.
Nuclear weapons with plutonium don't contain TNT.
The cost of 1 ounce of plutonium varies based on factors such as purity, market demand, and regulations. It is not typically bought and sold on the open market, but estimates suggest it could be worth several thousand dollars per ounce.
Nagasaki (Japan) - 9 August 1945 - a bomb containing 6,4 kg of Plutonium 239
The atomic number of plutonium is 94.
depends on what you think is expensive. if you think $4000 per gram is expensive, then yes.
Approx. 4 000 US $ for weapon-grade plutonium.
1 plutonium (solid) gallon = 71,337 kg
A quart of plutonium would weigh approximately 132 pounds.
The cost of 1kg of plutonium is difficult to define as it is a controlled substance and generally not sold on the open market. However, estimates suggest that it could be worth millions of dollars due to its rarity and high level of regulation.
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.
roughly $85,000
Plutonium for use in nuclear weapons is alloyed with gallium. Delta-phase plutonium is alloyed at 3-3.5 molar percent, or by weight, 0.8 - 1%. Alloying plutonium with gallium increases its thermodynamic stability throughout a range of temperatures, and decreases plutonium's susceptibility to corrosion.
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.
The price of nuclear weapons grade plutonium is approx. 4 000 US $ for one gram, in 2010.
Approx. 2 x 6,2 kg plutonium-239 for Trinity and Fat Man bombs.
