I was "doubting" that superconductivity had been determined *experimentally* for *all* of Pu's isotopes due to the short half lives of some of them. I would agree that "in theory" they should all be superconducting but there are sometimes strange interactions between the nucleus and the electron cloud. For example, heat conductivity does differ in diamond made from different isotopes of carbon.
