With the very costly elements we provide a reasonable fragment that can be readily viewed with the naked eye, to see its properties and to allow comparison with other elements. For example, one of the more expensive elements is the rare earth Lutetium which costs over $100 per gram. ... HOW MUCH DOES THE ELEMENT COLLECTION COST?

With the very costly elements we provide a smaller fragment that can be readily viewed with the naked eye, to see its properties and to allow comparison with other elements. For example, one of the more expensive elements is the rare earth Lutetium which costs over $100 per gram from laboratory suppliers.

However, the cost of this process, estimated at $10 to $28 per gram of plutonium, can equal the cost of MOX fabrication itself (about $30 per gram of plutonium.)[8] ... However, for the 4 percent Am-241 concentration typical of much Russian reactor-grade plutonium, twenty millimeters of steel shielding would be required.[9]

To put a half-gram in context, consider these facts: Half a gram of mercury dropped into a ten-acre lake warrants the promulgation of a fish advisory for the lake in Minnesota; the tennis shoes with mercury in them that were banned by the Minnesota legislature in 1994 contained half a gram of mercury per shoe.

I usually reply that it is a rational and defensible expectation that nanomedicine may actually cost far less, per treatment, ... In 1999, the rarest and most expensive nonradioactive material available on Earth was antimatter, which could be artificially created in the laboratory at a cost of $62.5 trillion/gram [9].

The common slogan used for plutonium is a ‘physicist’s dream and an engineer’s nightmare’. Thus it is known as the most complex of all elements. To put forward a simple description of this most complex element, it is a rare, radioactive, metallic and toxic ... operational cost of storage of plutonium $ gram 7...
