Radioactive Metallic Element | |
||||
| The silvery plutonium metal gives off heat and is an extremely hazardous poison due to its high radioactivity. Plutonium readily undergoes both fission and fusion, and is thus primarily used and produced in quantity in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons. The isotope plutonium-238 has also been used to power deep space equipment by means of the heat it emits. |
