Applications of plutonium:
- explosive in nuclear weapons
- nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors
- the isotope 238Pu is used as energy source in spacecrafts or other applications (radioisotope thermoelectric generators)
- neutron generator, as Pu-Be source
Plutonium is only paramagnetic.

The atomic number of plutonium is 94.
The density of solid plutonium is 19,816 g/cm3.
At room temperature plutonium is a solid metal.
Plutonium hasn't any biological use.
Plutonium has no uses in the everyday life.
Plutonium is a fissile isotope of plutonium; by fission Pu-241 release energy in nuclear reactors.
Now only laboratory/research use; in the past plutonium chloride was proposed as nuclear furel in a molten salts type nuclear reactor.
The obvious difference is a plutonium weapon uses plutonium as its fuel while a uranium weapon uses uranium as its fuel, however there are also composite weapons that use both as their fuel. Plutonium, being produced in reactors has some degree of plutonium-240 and plutonium-241 as undesired contaminates that can cause a fizzle. So weapons made with plutonium must be assembled much more rapidly than uranium weapons. So uranium weapons can use either gun or implosion rapid assembly systems, but weapons using any amount of plutonium must use implosion rapid assembly systems.
Uranium and plutonium are both actinides that are used in nuclear reactors.
Some plutonium chemical compounds; plutonium dioxide, plutonium nitride, plutonium carbide, plutonium nitrate, plutonium trifluoride, plutonium chloride, etc.
Applications of plutonium: • explosive in nuclear weapons • nuclear fuel in nuclear power reactors • the isotope 238Pu is used as energy source in spacecrafts or other applications (radioisotope thermoelectric generators); the chemical form is plutonium dioxide. • neutron generator, as Pu-Be source For the characteristics of plutonium see the link below.
