Plutonium

Useful for many applications, plutonium can also be dangerous if improperly handled.

Safety Information

When handling plutonium, care must be taken to avoid the formation of a critical mass.

With plutonium, the possibility of implosion is very real, and must be avoided at all costs. This can be accomplished by keeping the various masses separate.

Comments

It’s best to avoid using plutonium at all if it can be avoided.
