He has not decided yet. Bev -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of David D. Hillman Sent: Friday, August 27, 2010 3:09 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz - The Answer Hi folks - here is the Friday Element Quiz - The Question: The element is a naturally occurring in the Earth crust at a 1 ppt abundance. The element was not discovered until 1927 due to the difficulty of extracting it from mineral sources. In the mid 1950's a UK program produced 127 grams of pure element that has been used, recycled and reused repeatedly during the past several decades due to its 32,760 year half life. No commercial uses of this element exist. The melting temperature of this element is 1572C. What element am I? The Answer: The element is Protactinium - Pa. The UK Atomic Energy Agency processed 60 tons of U bearing materials to produce the 127 grams of pure Pa. And Bev is correct, I'll start making the Quiz a bit more challenging as our TechNet folks are very good at sleuthing! The winner of this week's quiz is Drew Meyer! Bev, please email Clumpy, the 8th dwarf, to Drew for his next task assignment. So far Clumpy has: 1st week - accomplished nothing 2nd week - conducted REACH material testing Everyone have a great weekend.
