Plutonium is a rare transuranic radioactive chemical element with the chemical symbol Pu and atomic number 94. Enrico Fermi and a team of scientists at the University of Rome reported that they had discovered element 94 in 1934.Fermi called the element hesperium and mentioned it in his Nobel Lecture in 1938.The sample was actually a mixture of barium, krypton, and other elements, but this was not known at the time because nuclear fission had not been discovered yet. Plutonium was first produced and isolated on December 14, 1940.
Hiroshima bomb: uranium Nagasaki bomb: plutonium
In the test bomb, the material was plutonium. Plutonium was also used in one of the bombs dropped on Japan, Fat Man. Little Boy, the bomb dropped on Nagasaki, was made of uranium.
Hi there here i found you an answer: Plutonium was first produced and isolated in 1940 and was used to make the "Fat Man" atomic bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki at the end of World War II, just five years after it was first produced, said Amanda Simson, an assistant professor of chemical engineering at the University of New Haven
Uranium enrichment plantsPrototype plutonium production reactor & design of plutonium production reactors used in Hanford, WA
Nagasaki (Japan), 9 August 1945
Plutonium was used in the Trinity test, Uranium in the first combat weapon.
It was used first for plutonium production for military purposes.
Both Uranium & Plutonium were used.
Uranium and plutonium.
The first nuclear reaction used to obtain plutonium:238U + n-------239U-------239Np + e--------239Pu + e
Plutonium is not used in the human body.
The first plutonium bomb used in the war: Nagasaki (Japan), 9 august 1945 - the "Fat man".
Apparently it was plutonium which I think is element 295.Plutonium is element 94.Plutonium was used in the Gadget at Trinity.Uranium was used in the first bomb dropped on Japan the Little Boy at Hiroshima.Plutonium was used in the second bomb dropped on Japan the Fatman at Nagasaki.

Yes, plutonium is used in nuclear weapons.
Plutonium is not used in batteries.
Plutonium is not used in everyday life.
