The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.

Recovery of Liquid Organic Radioactive Waste Absorbed Into Soil by Extraction
CleanMat, EarlyView.Radioactive organic liquid waste adsorbed in soil containing pure beta‐emitting radionuclides such as H‐3 must be radiologically characterized for subsequent management. For this purpose, a method for the recovery of radioactive scintillation liquids adsorbed in soil has been developed that simulates this type of waste.
