Thirteen isotopes are known, by far the most important being plutonium–239 (half-life 2.44 × 104 years), which undergoes nuclear fission with slow neutrons and is therefore a vital power source for nuclear weapons and some nuclear reactors. About 20 tonnes of plutonium are produced annually by the world's nuclear reactors, a detailed inventory of every gram of which is kept in order to prevent its military misuse. The element was first produced by Seaborg, McMillan, Kennedy, and Wahl in 1940 |
