The results suggest that the radioactive dust originated in Algeria's Reggane region, but its plutonium levels didn't match ...

Plutonium isotopes, particularly 239 Pu and 240 Pu, have become significant markers for understanding anthropogenic impacts on marine environments, especially following mid-twentieth century ...

Plutonium isotopes, particularly 239Pu and 240Pu, are significant in understanding the environmental impact of nuclear activities and global fallout. These isotopes, along with other radionuclides ...

The RPS uses two Stirling engines to convert the heat generated by the decay of Plutonium-238 (Pu-238) into electricity.

The reason is that the two isotopes of this superheavy element, absent in nature, resulted from an unprecedented union: that of plutonium-244 (Z=94) and titanium-50. The use of titanium-50 in such ...

The BN-800 fast reactor is the only fast neutron reactor in the world generating electricity for a national grid on a sizable ...

In the face of a threatened lawsuit from environmentalists, the Department of Energy has backed down from its plan to spend $75 million this year as the first step in building a plutonium refinery ...

The purported leader of a Japan-based crime syndicate pleaded guilty Wednesday to charges alleging that he conspired to traffic uranium and plutonium from Myanmar in the belief that Iran would use ...

"In particular, the laboratory determined that the isotope composition of the plutonium found in the nuclear samples is weapons-grade, meaning that the plutonium, if produced in sufficient ...
