Plutonium-241

Isotope of plutonium

Plutonium-241 is an isotope of plutonium formed when plutonium-240 captures a neutron. Like some other plutonium isotopes, 241Pu is fissile, with a neutron absorption cross section about one-third greater than that of 239Pu, and a similar probability of fissioning on neutron absorption, around 73%. In the non-fission case, neutron capture produces plutonium-242. In general, isotopes with an odd number of neutrons are both more likely to absorb a neutron and more likely to undergo fission on neutron absorption than isotopes with an even number of neutrons.
