| * [[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.
