History of Element Glenn Seaborg discovered it
While working on neptunium In Berkley California In 1912 The element was discovered in 1912 when Glenn Seaborg took up the work of fellow scientists who were working on neptunium undergoing nuclear fission in a laboratory in Berkley California. And they discovered plutonium isotope 244.

How element is used Its used in nuclear medicine and medical devices like pacemakers Energy source Atomic study And unfortunately nuclear weapons It is used in nuclear medicine and is called Homeopathic plutonium. And is used as a energy source for space equipment. And it is also used in atomic studies on radioactive elements. And it is found in the heart of all atomic weapons because of its energy and destructive power.
