Guessing Thorium.
So far, Clumpy has been pretty useless.  He just sits here and drinks 
coffee all day.

Hi folks - here is the Friday Element Quiz Question:


The Question:

I am an element that was first produced in 1828 but was identified 
centuries earlier. Peak demand for this element was in the 1960s. This 
element has been extensively studied for possible use in reactor fuel 
breeding but only one master alloy is commercially available. The dominant 

isotope of this element has a half life of 1.41 x 1010 years. This 
element's compounds were part of an invention in 1891 and  have been a 
significant part of people's camping experience. This element comprises 
8.1 ppm of the earth's crust. What element am I?


The winner of the quiz will get the services of Clumpy, the 8th dwarf, for 

one task. Lamar still owes us what task Clumpy accomplished for him last 
week.


Good Luck
