Plutonium: the essentials. Plutonium was the second transuranium element of the actinide series to be discovered. By far of greatest importance is the isotope 239 Pu, which has a half-life of more than 20000 years. One kilogram is equivalent to about 22 million kilowatt hours of heat energy.The complete detonation of a kilogram of plutonium produces an explosion equal to about 20000 tons of chemical explosive.y far of greatest importance is the isotope 239 Pu, which has a half-life of more than 20000 years.
