	curium. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Curium is a member of the actinide series in group IIIb of the periodic table.
		Curium has not been found to occur naturally; it was the third transuranium element to be synthesized.
		Curium was first produced by the bombardment of plutonium-239 with alpha particles in a cyclotron at the Univ. of California at Berkeley.

	VIAS Encyclopedia: Curium
		Minute amounts of curium probably exist in natural deposits of uranium, as a result of a sequence of neutron captures and beta decays sustained by the very low flux of neutrons naturally present in uranium ores.
		Curium is similar in some regards to gadolinium, its rare earth homolog, but it has a more complex crystal structure.
		Curium absorbed into the body accumulates in the bones, and is therefore very toxic as its radiation destroys the red-cell forming mechanism.

		Very small amounts of curium may exist in uranium (A heavy toxic silvery-white radioactive metallic element; occurs in many isotopes; used for nuclear fuels and nuclear weapons) ore as a daughter product of natural decay.
		A rare earth (Any element of the lanthanide series (atomic numbers 57 through 71)) homolog, curium is somewhat chemically similar to gadolinium (A ductile silvery-white ductile ferromagnetic trivalent metallic element of the rare earth group) but with a more complex crystal structure (additional info and facts about crystal structure).
		The isotopes of curium range in atomic weight ((chemistry) the ratio of the atomic mass of an element to half the atomic mass of carbon-12) from 233.051 amu (additional info and facts about amu) (Cm-233) to 252.085 amu (Cm-252).

	Curium (Cm) - Chemical properties, Health and Environmental effects
		Of the curium that reaches the blood, about 45% deposits in the liver where it is retained with a biological half-life of 20 years, and 45% deposits in bone where it is retained with a biological half-life of 50 years (per simplified models that do not reflect intermediate redistribution).
		Curium in the skeleton is deposited mainly on the endosteal surfaces of mineral bone and only slowly redistributes throughout the bone volume.
		Curium is generally a health hazard only if it is taken into the body; however, there is a small external risk associated with the odd-numbered isotopes, i.e., curium-243, curium-245, and curium-247.

	Curium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Curium has been studied greatly as a potential fuel for Radioisotope thermoelectric generators.
		The isotopes of curium range in atomic weight from 233.051 u (Cm-233) to 252.085 u (Cm-252).
		The MOX which is to be used in power reactors should contain little or no curium as the neutron activation of this element will create californium which is a strong neutron emitter.

	It's Elemental - The Element Curium
		Curium was first produced by Glenn T. Seaborg, Ralph A. James and Albert Ghiorso, working at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1944.
		Curium's most stable isotope, curium-247, has a half-life of about 15,600,000 years.
		Since only milligram amounts of curium have ever been produced, there are currently no commercial applications for it, although it might be used in radioisotope thermoelectric generators in the future.

		Curium, Cm, is a radioactive transuranic metallic element, found in the actinide series of inner transition metals in Group IIIa of the periodic table.
		Curium was first identified by G.T. Seaborg and his associates in 1944AD.
		Curium in the form of Curium-242 is used in isotopic power generators as it produces about 3 watts heat energy /gm due to radioactive decay.

		Using this concept, in 1944 and 1945 we synthesized and chemically identified elements 95 and 96, by analogy with their rare earth homologues, europium (element 63) and gadolinium (element 64).
		The chemical symbol for Curium is Cm, chosen because "m" is the initial of Marie Curie.
		Several Slavic languages, and el, ja, he seem to have the English pronounciation of the name Curium transcribed, since the name Curie, pronounced in French, does not start with "kyoo" but with "kuh" [correct phonetic symbols to be added].
