Pu Plutonium is a radioactive chemical element with the symbol Pu and atomic number 94. It is an actinide metal of silverygray appearance that tarnishes when exposed to air, and forms a dull coating when oxidized. It is radioactive and can accumulate in the bones; handling of plutonium dangerous. Plutonium is the heaviest primordial element by virtue of its most stable isotope, plutonium244, whose halflife of about 80 million years is just long enough for the element to be found in trace quantities in nature. Plutonium is mostly a byproduct of nuclear reactions in reactors where some of the neutrons released by the fission process convert uranium238 nuclei into plutonium. Plutonium238 has a halflife of 88 years and emits alpha particles. It is a heat source in radioisotope thermoelectric generators, which are used to power some spacecraft. Plutonium isotopes are expensive and inconvenient to separate, so particular isotopes are usually manufactured in specialized reactors. How long will it take for a 134 gram sample of of Pu238 to decay into a 23 gram sample?
