Скачать или смотреть Plutonium-238

Plutonium-238 is a radioactive isotope of plutonium that has a half-life of 87.7 years.
Plutonium-238 is a very powerful alpha emitter and – unlike other isotopes of plutonium – it does not emit significant amounts of other, more penetrating and thus more problematic radiation. This makes the plutonium-238 isotope suitable for usage in radioisotope thermoelectric generators and radioisotope heater units – one gram of plutonium-238 generates approximately 0.5 watts of thermal power.
