Evaporation possibly, but only if exposed during
atmospheric re-entry. An intact fuel vessel landing intact but then compromised

of plutonium powered satelllites for just that reason. And there are known
levels of airborn plutonium produced by both fuel and weapon mishaps. I am
not necessarily subscibing to the complete text here but, http://www.greenleft.org.au/back/1999/365/365p20.htm .
