The reference shows how to purify it. Absolutely pure, never. No element can ever be that, but part per million impurities is as close as should be expected.

resources says yes.but its hard.
. The nuclear properties of plutonium, as well as the ability to produce large amounts of nearly pure plutonium, led to its use in nuclear weapons and nuclear power.so the pure plotonium uses in nuclear weapons and bombs.here i am showing how the use in bomb.
The plutonium that you get from a reactor is a form of plutonium that's extraordinarily difficult to work with. And a potential bomb manufacturer would have to have a sophistication matched by the great national laboratories of the land, in order to make any kind of a satisfactory weapon out of it at all. One must realize that to use plutonium for weapons, that in those countries that have done that, including our own, that an isotopically pure form of plutonium is produced precisely for that purpose, precisely for the purpose of making weapons. If you have plutonium out of a reactor, you do not have those possibilities open to you. The material is hot. The material is highly radioactive. It's dimensionally unstable. It's all kinds of things that the bomb designer does not want to have to deal with at all. And someone with a chemical background could possibly separate the material. But having separated it, there would be a very long way to gos

Absolute purity is possible only in case of semiconductor materials like silicon obtained by zone refining & pulsed lasers.
But Plutonium is radioactive too.......that is it decaying every second(radiactive decay). YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ABSOLUTELY PURE PLUTONIUM.

yes, but it's hard because you have to separate the decayed from the undecayed and that takes a lot of effort
