Zgodovina
Neptunium was the first synthetic transuranium element of the actinide series to be discovered.
Neptunium was first produced by Edwin McMillan and Philip H. Abelson in 1940 at Berkeley Radiation Laboratory of the University of California.
The team produced the neptunium isotope 239Np by bombarding uranium with slow moving neutrons.

Uporabe
Neptunium is used mainly for research purposes.
When bombarded with neutrons 237Np is used to produce 238Pu which is used for spacecraft generators and terrestrial navigation beacons.
237Np is used in devices for detecting high-energy neutrons.
