Lithium, is my bet, it is used as a battery electrolyte, and lithium salts burn reddish.

Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz Question
Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Question:
The Question:
A weak isotope of this element is unique as it can be used to locate brain tumors as the isotope attaches to diseased tissue rather than healthy tissue. A compound of this element can be used as an electrolyte for low temp electric storage batteries for use in vehicles in the subarctic. The word "reddish". What element is being described?
The winner of the weekly element quiz will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week.
So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:
Past Quiz winners/tasks:
Week 1 Dick Krug, Spartan Complex Systems
- Clumpy and Kloumpios arrived and were happy to get some warm weather.
Saturday they helped rake leaves (yes it's fall in Tampa) then went to the
Florida State Fair. They seemed most interested in some of the new tractors, muttering something about the closed cab would be a more comfortable ride, but they also took advantage of the opportunity for Fair
food. I couldn't believe how much deep fried food they ate - Snickers, butter, burgers, ..., you name it. Yesterday they didn't feel good so just sat around in the sun most of the day. This week I'm going to pick their brains on how to improve our ECN implementation process. If they can't contribute much I'll send them back to the fair as sort of a winter vacation.
Week 2 Laura Turbini, IRC
- unknown
Week 3 James Head, Crowcon Detection Instruments Limited
- assisted with a "haring" activity
And Pat Goodyear, PGE
- This time the boys will get to do some REAL work, they each have scoop shovels and at present are shoveling piles of U-O2 pellets for refueling the cook pot. We are in the middle of a 60 day refuel outage so their help came at an opportune time, the majority of our contract crew left
this evening, (laid off). They are however complaining that it is hot
and they have been working in dry suits and sweating profusely, and they
have no beers to drop, not allowed on the property. I offered them Gator
aid but they just laughed. I asked them if they knew anything about electronics and they could work with us technicians, but they just mumbled
about John Deere tractors. They will be working the next 3 days around
the clock, they will get rest when they are done, we have to get back on schedule.
Week 4 Joe Russeau, Precision Analysts Laboratory
- assisted with running an ion chromatograph and see how adept they are at
reviewing SIR data.
Week 5 Tom Carroll, Boeing Defense, Space and Security
- assisted with eating pizza and drinking wine - other tasks?
Week 6 ????
- assisted with ????
Everyone have a safe week!
