Difference between Plutonium-239 and Spent nuclear fuel

Plutonium-239 vs. Spent nuclear fuel

Plutonium-239 is an isotope of plutonium. Spent nuclear fuel, occasionally called used nuclear fuel, is nuclear fuel that has been irradiated in a nuclear reactor (usually at a nuclear power plant).

Similarities between Plutonium-239 and Spent nuclear fuel

Plutonium-239 and Spent nuclear fuel have 14 things in common (in Unionpedia): Actinide, Beta decay, MOX fuel, Natural uranium, Nuclear fission product, Nuclear fuel, Nuclear power plant, Nuclear reactor, Nuclear reprocessing, Plutonium, Plutonium-240, Reactor-grade plutonium, Research reactor, Uranium-233.

Actinide

The actinide or actinoid (IUPAC nomenclature) series encompasses the 15 metallic chemical elements with atomic numbers from 89 to 103, actinium through lawrencium.

Beta decay

In nuclear physics, beta decay (β-decay) is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta ray (fast energetic electron or positron) and a neutrino are emitted from an atomic nucleus.
