"Plutonium is the element with the highest atomic number known to occur in nature" - not true, see the WIKIPEDIA sites on (1) natural nuclear reactors in Gabon, (2) the Przybylski star...Eudialytos (talk) 19:53, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Someone whose exotic-magnetism chops are less rusty than mine should express an opinion as to whether Study confirms, Plutonium has no Magnetism (currently cited under Science, but no subheading, on Google News) and/or other new Google hits indeed require updating our coverage on the accompanying article, which appears to me be satisfied (as of an unrelated edit an hour ago) with "Magnetic ordering [is] paramagnetic" (in the InfoBox) as the only magnetism-relevant fact. It also makes me wonder if the new result suggests the paramagnetism would extinguish at temperatures sufficiently low that thermal noise is lower than energy-level differences anomalously close between states differing (i presume) in more than a single quantum number ....? (I'd bet there are at least some editors who have a better idea than i about which related but more general quantum-magnetism topics are likely to have been edited by the most suitable editors for the task.) --Jerzy•t 07:51 & 07:56, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
Applications->Mixed oxide fuel->DOE plans for MOX plant[edit]
Currently the plans to convert plutonium to MOX fuels are terminated and the proposed approach is "dilute and dispose" - dilute with reactor grade plutonium and dispote at WIPP complex. https://www.nap.edu/resource/25593/interactive/
I propose to adjust the topic accordingly
remove "not to be confused with polonium." The axe article does not say "not to be confused with chisel." wiki does not need to pander to ignorance. 2600:1000:B142:B742:21CA:9B07:83EF:89CA (talk) 14:48, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Plutonium and polonium are both radioactive chemical elements with similar-sounding names to those unfamiliar with the subject. Axe and chisel, on the other hand, sound nothing alike, so there's no reason they'd be confused for spelling. ComplexRational (talk) 17:42, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Right. Because I might mix up my polonium with my plutonium. So silly. 57.135.233.22 (talk) 14:24, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Funny how Britannica does not mention Polonium in the Plutonium article. Maybe because the two are not related?

In the “in popular culture” section, karate kid 3 also mentions plutonium. Please add that movie to the list 207.112.55.238 (talk) 03:08, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
