Plutonium is a heavy, radioactive, man-made, metallic element used in the production of nuclear energy.

However, one blogger pointed out that with the Department of Energy consolidating its surplus plutonium at Savannah River, co-located with the MOX fuel plant already under construction there, South Carolina looked like a reasonable bet. …

I will admit that the calculations behind the physics are over my head but I understand magnetic fields, fields of energy, and how it is necessary to smash particles together to capture nuclear energy. … neutrons is splitting by fission, again into hydrogen nuclei{only protons+relativistic electrons}.the energy density release by hydrogen fusion is mush bigger,than the energy density as result of nuclear fission of helium,uranium,plutonium,By the hydrogen fusion the two …
