Sather Tower at the University of California, Berkeley. Credit for the discovery of plutonium is usually given to a team of scientists at UC Berkeley. Plutonium is a metallic chemical element classified among the actinides on the periodic table of elements. This highly radioactive element is used primarily in weapons and nuclear power plants, and it has become somewhat well known because of these uses. In nature, plutonium is relatively rare, occurring in uranium rich ores in trace amounts; most of the world's working supply of this element is obtained through neutron bombardment of uranium, a close neighbor on the periodic table.
