Seaborg's Plutonium?
Passive x-ray and gamma-ray analysis was performed on UC Berkeley's EH&S Sample S338. The object was found to contain Pu-239 and no other radioactive isotopes. The mass of Pu-239 contained in this object was determined to be 2.0 +- 0.3 micrograms. These observations are consistent with the...

Zusammenfassung: | Passive x-ray and gamma-ray analysis was performed on UC Berkeley's EH&S
Sample S338. The object was found to contain Pu-239 and no other radioactive
isotopes. The mass of Pu-239 contained in this object was determined to be 2.0
+- 0.3 micrograms. These observations are consistent with the identification of
this object being the 2.77-microgram plutonium oxide sample described by Glenn
Seaborg and his collaborators as the first sample of Pu-239 that was large
enough to be weighed. |
