St. Petersburg, Russia/stpet715
Previous | Home | NextNote for element 104, rutherfordium is not used but instead the original Russian choice of "kurchatovium" to honor the Soviet nuclear physicst Igor Vasilevich Kurchatov (1903-1960), who produced the first Soviet atomic bomb and worked on other innovative nuclear projects. A final compromise gave final internationally accepted names of rutherfordium to 104 and dubnium {LINK: Dubna-boblovo210} to 105.
