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

Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Question:

The Question:

This element plays no role in living organisms and is not normally found 
outside nuclear facilities. Three different research groups in the 1930s 
claimed to have discovered this element but were mistaken. This element 
was discovered in 1940 but that discovery was keep secret due to WW2. This 
element does occur naturally on the Earth in very very very minute 
quantities. What element is being described?


The winner of the weekly element quiz will get the services of Clumpy and 
Kloumpios for the week.

As a side note, there were a number of "disparaging" comments about the 
Friday Element Quiz Arbitration Board (FEQAB). The FEQAB is comprised of 7 
members who are hard working, dedicated, honest employees of the S.White 
Corporation who are engaged in the rare earth element extraction industry. 
They spend a lot of time underground ignoring the everyday world thus are 
an excellent unbiased review group. TechNet is privileged to have them 
assist with the issues requiring arbitration regarding the Friday Element 
Quiz. And for the record, they do think Doug Pauls is a nice guy.


So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:
