Description
Plutonium: the 94. element of the periodic classification; like uranium and neptunium, plutonium owes its denomination to one planet of the solar system: Pluton which was the name given to Hell's God. Is that a reason of the aversion of the public, the politicians and the media towards plutonium? Or are there objective arguments in favor of or against plutonium? It is important to clarify the situation of this poorly understood subject. This is precisely the aim of the present paper
