 | | Einsteinium, the seventh transuranic element of the actinide series to be discovered, was identified by Ghiorso and co-workers at Berkeley in December 1952 in debris from the first large thermonuclear explosion, which took place in the Pacific in November 1952. |
 | | In 1961, a sufficient amount of einsteinium was produced to permit separation of a macroscopic amount of 253Es. |
 | | About 3 ug of einsteinium has been produced at Oak Ridge National Laboratories by irradiating for several years kilogram quantities of 239Pu in a reactor to produce 242Pu. |
