Hi everyone! As you must have understood this video is going to be about such a radioactive metal as plutonium. It has been shrouded in secrecy since the day it was discovered and right until our days. I find it annoying sometimes.
The history of the discovery of the element with atomic number 96 began in 1940 when Glenn Seaborg and his team of scientists bombarded an atom of uranium 238 with deuterons in a cyclotron, one of the first particle accelerator. As a result of this reaction they got neptunium, which turned into plutonium 238 thanks to the beta decay. However, this isotope wasn’t susceptible to spontaneous division and wasn’t suitable for making nuclear weapons, which the government of the United States was in dire need of back then, because they needed to invent it before the Nazi Germany. Half a year later The Americans managed to create isotope 239 of the new element by bombardment with neurons of uranium salt, which, as later tests confirmed, was more suitable for nuclear weapons than uranium 235. The new element with the atomic number 94 was named plutonium after the planet was discovered in 1930 - Plutonium. According to the latest classification it no longer qualifies as a planet, however the element preserved its name.

Po-210 is a nearly pure alpha emitter, but with a 138 day half-life. Pu-238, Pu-239, Pu-240, and Pu-242 are also nearly pure alpha emitters too. They have much longer half-lives, making them safer, weight for weight. Pu-241 is almost an entirely soft beta emitter, however it decays to Am-241, which emits a lot of low energy gamma rays (59 keV @ 36%/alpha decay and 26 keV @ 2.4%/alpha decay). Those are the most frequent energies of many branching intensities.

[@hackneo64]

Wow dude, you're handling plutonium without gloves! You have some huge neutrons!

[@BraleJunior]

An Uranium 238 pellet is pretty safe to even hold in your bare hands, but absolutely deadly if iarradiated first with neutron bombardment in a reactor.

[@borttorbbq2556]

But become mostly harmless in a few decades really and a century later they're not even really a problem in the grand scheme of things it's not even a blink of the eye

[@etienneguyot9069]

No, plutonium is dangerous to hold because it's a chimical poison, not due to neutron emission (Pu-239)!

[@KarbineKyle]

It's not that big of a deal. Most Pu isotopes don't emit much gamma radiation. Remember, americium-241 is used in modern smoke detectors, also an alpha emitter and low-energy gamma emitter, and is even more radioactive than plutonium, in general. The activity of Am-241 is comparable to Pu-238, however, Am-241 emits about 36% gamma rays at 59.5 keV per alpha decay. Pu-238 emits only about 0.04% gamma rays at 43 keV per alpha decay, and it's even less for Pu-239 (0.027% at 51.6 keV). These are the most frequent energies (branching intensities). They are almost pure alpha emitters. As long as you don't ingest, or especially, inhale _any_ alpha emitting radioisotopes, the risks are usually low, especially if the gamma intensities are low. That makes it safe to handle externally, even in relatively large amounts.

[@borttorbbq2556]

@@KarbineKyle one of the reasons why americium is not uncommon in attempted homemade reactors. And while I'm not sure about the exact numbers that you give here it sounds about right.

[@wadeodonoghue1887]

Fire, flight, and water are some examples of the early fears in man's hearts, fears turned to love in clear regard, as cooking and bathing are virtually always chosen given a sober choice. We have approached many new avenues the body of reality has to offer often initially fearful and hesitant, growing in knowledge not only of what we could do but also in what we did do. Learning that water is an indefinite cosmic ray shield, and even glows at its job, a remedy for the wasted plutonium of yesterday is amazing. I am thankful to be present in a world where so many "shadowed deamons" have been "brought to light" and now bare fruit. I would have hated to be born to a mother fearful of all but the cave she was born to. What a grind and argument I would have to undertake to relieve my family of the ignorance and pain, to show them all the fruits, meats, leverages of life embraced... but I won't know of the things I would want to share? I would be born a clean canvas, an empty jug to be poured into whatever my family deems worthy and true? Or do I own volition? is there an effect, what magnitude and in which direction from in to out and out to in... However even a parent with rock hard resolute resolve in their truth can't hide the body of reality from their child, reality is open to all in generation but when anyone clicks is as uncertain as which water molecule will rise from your coffee next. All we know for certain is that given the spread both to be and not to be are the answered given the question, the cat is alive and dead, it is only I who can know, taste now if you will and know for myself, If I am worth it, a part and parcel of the deepest laws that govern reality I may look, see and assimilate. I may test the shelfs, chuck the junk and keep the treasure. I may grow in conventional terms. If I believe I am a poor little cog to serve a higher purpose of which I am not a part in meaning(in it's deepest sense), a knife edge wielded by a master, a leaf in the wind, to be used and chucked. I might not care to look and see what the body of reality has to offer, the ground stinks and my seed won't sprout into a dank abode, my jug will be buried empty because there was nothing to be found of worth, may I then sleep relinquish all that embodies the rotten, broken and suffering. May I awaken clean, energized and resolute. May I be born to a world where I have family, and worth. May the laws of reality permeate my being so that their light draws to attention my eyes. May I have an endless dish to consume, a bottomless refill, may I have the want to eat and should I lose my apatite may I forgive the idiots who believe there is still flavour in this life, may I leave this mistake in peace or embrace it the same.
