	Californium - MSN Encarta
		Californium is one of the transuranium elements in the actinide series of the periodic table (see Periodic Law).
		The isotope of californium with a mass number of 245 was first produced in 1950 at the University of California laboratories in Berkeley by the American chemists Stanley G. Thompson, Kenneth Street, Jr., Albert Ghiorso, and Glenn T. Seaborg.
		The heavier californium isotopes are produced by neutron bombardment of berkelium-249, which increases the number of protons in the nucleus.

	californium – FREE californium Information \| Encyclopedia.com: Facts, Pictures, Information!
		Californium is a member of the actinide series of chemical elements, found in Group 3 of the periodic table.
		Eighteen isotopes of californium are known, with half-lives ranging from about 40 sec for californium-239 to about 900 years for californium-251, the most stable isotope.
		Californium was first produced in 1950 by Glenn T. Seaborg, Stanley G. Thompson, Albert Ghiorso, and Kenneth Street, Jr., in a cyclotron at the Univ. of California at Berkeley by bombarding curium-242 with alpha particles, resulting in californium-245 (half-life 45 min).

	californium
		Californium, the sixth transuranium element to be discovered, was produced by Thompson, Street, Ghioirso, and Seaborg in 1950 by bombarding microgram quantities of 242Cf with 35 MeV helium ions in the Berkeley 60-inch cyclotron.
		Because californium is a very efficient source of neutrons, many new uses are expected for it.
		It has been suggested that californium may be produced in certain stellar explosions, called supernovae, for the radioactive decay of 254Cf (55-day half-life) agrees with the characteristics of the light curves of such explosions observed through telescopes.

		Pertaining to californium's nuclear fuel cycle, it is important to make sure that the curium concentration in MOX nuclear fuel is kept low, as neutron irradiation of curium will convert some of it to californium.
		The californium will then cause the used fuel to be more difficult to handle as the californium is a strong neutron emitter (through spontaneous fission).
		Californium was first synthesized at the University of California, Berkeley by researchers Stanley G. Thompson, Kenneth Street, Jr., Albert Ghiorso and Glenn T. Seaborg in 1950.

		The member of actinide or actinoid group of chemical elements - Californium had been discovered in February of 1950 by Stanley G. Thompson, Albert Ghiorso, and Glenn T. Seaborg at the Berkeley Laboratory of the University of California.
		Californium isotope was obtained by bombardment of micrograms of curium with alpha-particles (helium ions).
		Since this element is the chemical homolog of dysprosium, a rare earth element the name of which is translated from Greek as "hard to get at", and the element 98 was also hard to get at a century later in California.
