James Voss Moscow October 17 2012 1 Contents Problem Statement Paramagnetism First Demonstration Nevada Test Site Second Demonstration Aldermaston Final Observations 2 Problem Statement. What are fissile materials and how are they made?. U-235 is fissile but there isn’t enough pure U-235 anywhere to worry about.. Why . not?. U-235. U-235 is less than 1% of naturally occurring uranium.. Detailed Study . 3.3. Chapter. . 12.2: Aspects of Fission. Properties of uranium-235, uranium-238 and plutonium-239.. Uranium-235 is likely to undergo fission when it is struck by a . thermal neutron. By: James Seward and . Conor. O’Rourke . P.6. Characteristics . Chemical Symbol is . Pu. Plutonium is a silvery radioactive metal that tarnishes in air to give a yellow oxide coating. It has six allotropic forms, which vary widely in crystal structure and density. The metal is chemically reactive, forming compounds with the halogens, carbon, nitrogen, and silicon. If held, plutonium would be warm to the touch because of the energy given off in alpha decay, and a large piece of the metal could boil water. . By . Layne Bennett. Information. Plutonium. Atomic symbol is . Pu. Atomic number is 94. It is . in the . actinide group and its periodic number is 7. A picture. Electrons. Plutonium has 94 electrons on 7 rings, ending with two electrons on the last ring. with a Focus on the Savannah River Site. Tom Clements. Adviser to the South Carolina Chapter of the Sierra Club. Columbia, S. outh Carolina. Plutonium Disposition Alternatives Workshop. Washington, DC January 30-31, 2014. Magnetic separation. Overview. Material is separated based on magnetic susceptibility. Highly magnetic material is removed using a hand magnet. Weakly magnetic materials are separated by a Frantz magnetic separator. Grade 9 Science. Mixtures can be separated by physical means…. Filtration can be used to separate an insoluble substance from a soluble substance. Evaporation can be used to separate a solute from the solvent in a solution. ?”. Mike Natelson. Facts.
