makes up a large proportion
editThe article says, about Pu240: makes up a large proportion. I suspect it depends on what you are measuring relative to. As far as I know, the proportion is actually small, but the large spontaneous fission rate makes it seem large to bomb designers. Gah4 (talk) 23:37, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
Fissile or non-fissile?
edit
In the text Plutonium-283 is called non-fissile, however, the Plutonium-238 article calls it fissile ? Geertchaos (talk) 10:32, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- Good catch. 238
Pu is not fissile, and indeed the given reference did not support that claim whereas others clearly state the contrary. Both articles are now consistent and correct on that. Complex/Rational 12:50, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Percentages not correct
edit"About 85.5% of the time, it will fission; about 15.5% of the time, it will not fission, ..." Please, these add up to 101%! 103.166.228.86 (talk) 04:44, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
