Wow! I gotta buy a lottery ticket now!
Really, just lucky to be at my desk at the time of the question posting, and in this questions case, living dangerously close to Fermilab...
Thanks again for the fun element questions!
Regards,
Ron

Subject: [TN] Element Quiz Answer
The Question:
This element was first discovered in the fallout from the 'Ivy Mike'
nuclear test (1952), the first successful test of a hydrogen bomb. This element derives its name from one of the pioneers of nuclear physics. and the creator of the world's first nuclear reactor, the Chicago Pile-1. What element is being described?
The Answer:
The element is Fermium (Fm). Both fermium and einsteinium (element 99) were quickly discovered on filter papers which had been flown through the cloud from the explosion. The discovery/confirmation of fermium required more material, as the yield was expected to be at least an order of magnitude lower than that of element 99, and so contaminated coral from the Enewetak atoll (where the test had taken place) was shipped to the University of California Radiation Laboratory in Berkeley, California, for processing and analysis.
The winner of the quiz is Ron Feyereisen, SigmaTron Intl. and will get the services of Clumpy & Kloumpios for the week. (Ron is on a hot streak - that's two weeks in a row)
