The isotope 240 Pu is in a decay chain of the primordial isotope 244 Pu. These nuclei are present in the unalterable proportions of the radioactive equilibrium between 244 Pu and 240 Pu. 240 Pu has a relatively high radiative capture cross-section (about 290 barns for thermal neutrons).

The interaction of americium by polyamide (PN6) and polyethylene (PE) microplastics (MPs) has been investigated in de-ionized and seawater samples traced with the Am-241 isotope.

Pu-241 decays approximately 100 % by beta minus emission to the ground state of Am-241 and 0,00244 % by alpha emission to levels of U-237. The spontaneous fission decay branching is less than E-14 %.
