'''[[Wikipedia:Plutonium|Plutonium]]''' is a metallic, chemical, radioactive element. It is the detonation charge used in the remaining nuclear warheads in [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Galactica]]'s'' munitions following the [[Cylon attack]]. | |||
[[Gaius Baltar]] asks for the plutonium from one of the warheads from Commander [[William Adama|Adama]] to build his [[Cylon detector]] ([[Bastille Day]]). | |||
==Notes== | |||
* [[Canon|Canonical]] information from several episodes (noted in detail in "[[The Farm]]" by [[Simon]]) indicate that the radiation effects from nuclear fallout on [[Twelve Colonies#Caprica|Caprica]] appear identical with the classic radiation poisoning symptoms from plutonium here on the real-world Earth, strongly suggesting that the element is identical in both "universes." By extension, it is likely that [[Cylon]] nuclear weapons also use plutonium. | |||
* Plutonium is a man-made element created by bombarding uranium-238 with neutrons. The use of plutonium suggests that the natural element of uranium exists in the Re-imagined Series. | |||
