Where to find Reactorium(plutonium)

     The element Plutonium is mostly found in trace amount within Uranium deposits. To get these trace amounts out of the Uranium deposits you must burn Uranium in a nuclear reactor and extract the bi-product.  Plutonium is also very rarely found in nature in isotopes.

    Why are your found in uranium deposits? Why are you and uranium such good friends? I Uranium actually burned in nuclear reactors? Remember that "burning" means that something is combining with oxygen. Reactorium, what is an "isotope" anyway?

    Plutonium degrades faster than any other elements and uranium and plutonium are similar in what they do. This allows the plutonium to remain longer when in uranium. The burning in this sense is the process that happens in a nuclear reactor as opposed to just burning normally. an isotope is an element with the same number of protons in the nucleus as usual but a different number of neutrons.
