This was ascribed to an isomer of Bk with a half-life greater than 9 . No growth of Cf was detected, and a lower limit for the β half-life can be set at about 10 . No alpha activity attributable to the new isomer has been detected; the alpha half-life is probably greater than 300 ." 6243: 5443: 3022:
of U by emitting gamma radiation. Further neutron capture creates U; which, with a half-life of 7 days, decays to Np. Since nearly all neptunium is produced in this way or consists of isotopes that decay quickly, one gets nearly pure Np. After chemical separation of neptunium, Np is again irradiated by reactor neutrons to be converted to Np, which decays to Pu with a half-life of 2 days.

is the most stable isotope of plutonium, with a half-life of about 80 million years. It is not significantly produced in nuclear reactors because Pu has a short half-life, but some is produced in nuclear explosions. Pu has been found in interstellar space and has the second longest half-life of

There are small amounts of Pu in the plutonium from usual reactors. However, isotopic separation would be quite expensive compared to another method: when U captures a neutron, it is converted to an excited state of U. Some of the excited U nuclei undergo fission, but some decay to the ground state

where it can be fissioned directly. However, Pu's low cross section means that relatively little of it will be transmuted during one cycle in a thermal reactor. Pu's half-life is about 15 times as long as Pu's half-life; therefore, it is 1/15 as radioactive and not one of the larger contributors to

Pu has a half-life of 14 years, and has slightly higher thermal neutron cross sections than Pu for both fission and absorption. While nuclear fuel is being used in a reactor, a Pu nucleus is much more likely to fission or to capture a neutron than to decay. Pu accounts for a significant portion of
