Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz- the Question

Hi folks - I will begin posting the Friday Element Quiz on Thursday PM
to 
give folks in other time 
zones/global locals more opportunity to participate. 


The Question:
This element has only one isotope with a reasonably long half life (1380

years) but is very difficult to produce in quantity. This element has no

commercial uses. The largest piece of this metallic element produced is 
0.5 mg. Very little is known about this element's properties aside from 
its crystal structure, melting point, and bulk modulus. What element am
I?


The winner of this week's quiz will get to have Clumpy, the 8th dwarf, 
work for them for a week. Thanks to Graham Collins to transporting
Clumpy 
across the Atlantic to Ian's facility. Also, Gary Ferrari of Garrick 
Global tied Ian in answering last week's quiz  so Clumpy is going to
have 
to make a additional stop sometime this week (sorry Gary - I initially 
missed your email).

So far Clumpy has:

Week 1 Lamar Young, SCS Coatings        - accomplished nothing (drank
lots 
of coffee)
Week 2 Bev Christian, RIM               - conducted REACH material
testing
Week 3 Drew Meyer, Bench                - Solderability testing and
mowing 
the lawn
Week 4 Ian Fox, Goodrich                - ???? Ian owes us a description
Week 4 Gary Ferrari, Garrick Global - ???? Gary will owe us a
description 
once Clumpy arrives
Week 5 

Good Luck.
