Plutonium(IV) fluoride is a chemical compound with the formula (PuF4). This salt is generally a brown solid but can appear a variety of colors depending on the grain size, purity, moisture content, lighting, and presence of contaminants.[4][5] Its primary use in the United States has been as an intermediary product in the production of plutonium metal for nuclear weapons usage.[3]
