You are plutonium. Plutonium is a rare, radioactive metal. It is used to produce nuclear power and as an explosive in nuclear weapons. The complete detonation of a kilogram of plutonium produces an explosion equal to that produced by 20,000 tons of chemical explosives. The pure metal is silver, but it turns yellowish when it tarnishes in air. Plutonium gives off enough energy from alpha decay that the metal is warm to the touch.
