Subject: [TN] Element Quiz Question
The Question:
Concentrations of this element in the Earth's crust are typically a few parts per trillion, but may reach up to a few parts per million in some uraninite ore deposits.In 1961, the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority
(UKAEA) produced 127 grams of an isotope of this element by processing 60 tonnes of nuclear waste material in a 12-stage process, at a cost of about
500,000 USD and for many years, this was the world's only significant supply. Today, Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the US provides this element at a cost of about 280 USD/gram. One of the few commercial applications for this element is a tracer in geology and paleoceanography.
What element is being described?
The winner of the quiz will share the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week.

Week 73 Denny Friz
- This week, I need different tasks from Clumpy and Kloumpios. I think you said both can drive tractors - which one is best? Or, which one can drive one of those wonderful red International tractors instead of the worthless green John Deeres. OOPS, John Deere does a lot of electronics and is a big wheel in IPC. Restated - which one can drive a crummy old red International without electronics with a 6 volt battery instead of one of those marvelous new John Deeres? That one will be disking, spreading fertilizer, and planting seed for the hay crop on our farm next summer. The agriculturally challenged one will be helping me with reports on "the status of the US Defense Electronics Industry in support of Paragraph 845 of the 2019 Defense Authorization Act. All three Defense in DC, Executive Agent at Navy Crane, and IPC are working together on a report due in
January 2019. Recently retired from SAIC/Crane - I am now playing on the
IPC team.
Week 74 Drew Meyer, Benchmark Electronics
- I would defer to Leland if he needs the help. Getting very cold here and supposed to rain often. The boys probably would enjoy some warmth for a week. Fun to drag out some little snip of information stored decades ago.
Read up on Wilhelm again!
Week 74 Leland Woodall
- The weather here is pretty nice, so the guys can assist with generating the Quality reports for September for a day or so, and then perform some outside work around the house. I'll try to take it easy on 'em!
Week 75 ????
- assisted with ????
I hope everyone has a awesome week!
