    Plutonio (Pu). Aunque se pueden encontrar trazas en la naturaleza, todos los isótopos de este elemento 94 de la TP son de origen artificial. En noviembre de 1943, algunos trifluoruros de plutonio fueron reducidos para crear la primera muestra de Pu metálico: unos pocos microgramos de perlas metálicas. Se produjo suficiente Pu para que fuera el primer elemento sintético visible a simple vista. La producción de Pu en cantidades útiles fue una parte importante del Proyecto Manhattan durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, que desarrolló las primeras bombas atómicas. La primera bomba atómica ("Trinity", en julio de 1945), y la segunda bomba atómica ("Fat Man", agosto de 1945, que fue usada para destruir una ciudad de Nagasaki, Japón) tenían núcleos de Pu-239. Durante y después de la guerra, se realizaron experimentos con humanos sin consentimiento informado. Tales experimentos implicaban inyectar soluciones que contenían cinco microgramos de Pu en pacientes hospitalarios que se creía que sufrían de una enfermedad terminal o que tuvieran una esperanza de vida menor a diez años. Los estudios en animales constataron que la forma en la que el Pu se distribuía en los huesos era más peligrosa que la del Ra. Muchos de estos experimentos dieron como resultado fuertes mutaciones. La mayoría de los sujetos de prueba -de acuerdo a lo dicho por Eileen Welsome- eran pobres, impotentes y enfermos.

    The only plutonium that 'glows' is Plutonium 238. Nearly pure Pu238 glows a dull red through heat. It has a half life of 87 years, so its hardly glowing for 1/4 of million years and its only 2% of the plutonium in spent fuel . Uranium fluoresces green when exposed to UV light I guess that's where the idea of glowing radioactivity comes from. The stuff that makes your watch dial glow is the phosphor the same as the coating on old CRT TV sets, its activated by beta particles (electrons) emitted from Tritium. I guess you could make a watch dial with Pu238 as its a beta emitter too, but Pu238 is much more valuable to NASA to power deep space probes. The majority of spent fuel plutonium is Pu239 (53%) which you could make bombs out of if you could separate away all the other isotopes of plutonium that make it suicidal to make bombs out of spent fuel plutonium. Pu238 has half life of 24,000 years so 10 half lives gets close to the 1/4 million years. But it doesn't glow and because of the long half life its barely radioactive. By 240,000 years its radioactivity had decreased to a thousandth. Pu240 half life is 6500 years, Pu241 half life is 14 years and is about 13% of spent fuel plutonium. So I'd be careful around that stuff, but after 280 years its decayed to a millionth of its original intensity.
