The RaLa Experiment by Our Own Devices
. Source. Has some good mentions of Uranium vs Plutonium in nuclear weapon design.
Because you can generate plutonium-239 from uranium-238 in a breeder reactor, and then separate the plutonium-239 from the Uranium simply by using chemistry methods because you've created an element with different valence electrons.
Isn't it somewhat funny that it is easier to purify a synthetic element than a naturally occurring one?
