RE:RE:Malcolm! You missed one MOST important analytical point.Yes I was aware of that. Only Uranium occurs naturally though. Plutonium is a product of neutron bombardment of Uranium 238 so only produced in nuclear reactors or cyclotrons.
It is all just a matter of time....and the realisation by the world that wind and solar cannot produce the worlds electrical requirements reliably enough.
We shall see.

"The naming convention for uranium, Uranus, plutonium and Pluto, is a modern invention. Scientists discovered all of them in the past 300 years, and the element uranium was named after the planet Uranus, which was discovered 8 years earlier, in 1781 by William Herschel. The same thing happened with Pluto – the (now dwarf) planet Pluto was discovered in 1930, and the element was named for the planet following its discovery in 1941. In fact, nine elements are named for bodies in the solar system!"
Let's hope the starts (or planet) will align soon for us.
