Difference between Plutonium-242 and Uranium-238

Plutonium-242 vs. Uranium-238

Plutonium-242 is one of the isotopes of plutonium, the second longest-lived, with a half-life of 373,300 years. Uranium-238 (238U or U-238) is the most common isotope of uranium found in nature, with a relative abundance of 99%.

Similarities between Plutonium-242 and Uranium-238

Plutonium-242 and Uranium-238 have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alpha decay, Gamma ray, Neutron, Neutron capture, Neutron temperature, Plutonium-239, Radioactive waste.

Alpha decay

Alpha decay or α-decay is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and thereby transforms or 'decays' into an atom with a mass number that is reduced by four and an atomic number that is reduced by two.
