Calculated from the atomic weight and the atomic volume. The unit cell, containing 16 atoms, has a volume of 319.96 cubic Å, according to Siegfried S. Hecker. Plutonium and its alloys: from atoms to microstructure(PDF). Los Alamos Science. 2000, 26: 331 [2024-01-22]. (原始内容存档(PDF)于2009-02-24).. This gives a density for 238Pu of (1.66053906660×10−24g/dalton×238.0495599 daltons/atom×16 atoms/unit cell)/(319.96 Å3/unit cell × 10−24cc/Å3) or 19.8 g/cc.
