Plutonium________________?
Correct answer: C. Both A. and B.
- A. Is recovered from spent fuel from thermal nuclear reactor
- B. Has much lower melting point (640°C ) compared to thorium (1690°C)
- C. Both A. and B.
- D. Neither A. nor B.
Explanation
Plutonium is recovered by reprocessing spent fuel from thermal reactors, and its melting point is about 640°C, far below thorium's value of roughly 1690 to 1750°C. Hence both statements are intended to be true.
