| It is prepared artificially by bombarding curium with alpha particles in a particle accelerator. |
|
| Release of plutonium, americium and curium could occur from laboratory or industrial accidents. |
|
| Kept secret until after the war, they were respectively called americium and curium. |
|
| Metallic californium has been prepared and is structurally similar to metallic americium, curium, berkelium, and most lanthanoid metals. |
|
| The 96th element, curium, was named in honour of Pierre and Marie Curie who pioneered research in the area of physics and radioactivity. |
|
| Internal contamination with plutonium, americium, or curium can occur through a variety of routes including ingestion, inhalation, or direct contact through wounds. |
|
| Under certain conditions, for example, actinium, americium, curium, berkelium, and californium metals have the same crystal structure, as do many of the lanthanoids. |
|
| Another option is that of partitioning and the transmutation of the long-lived actinides, americium, curium and neptunium. |
|
| The waste also contains radioactive isotopes of the transuranic elements neptunium, americium, and curium. |
|
| Russian physicists, on the other hand, were using beams of light atoms, such as calcium, and smashing them into very heavy atoms such as plutonium or curium. |
|
| The per curium carves out no exceptions to the prohibition against discretionary death sentences. |
|
| This decision was issued per curium with Judge Kahn dissenting in a written opinion. |
|
| In a per curium opinion, the majority concluded Schenck had willfully violated the stipulated provisions of the Code in a manner which warranted the penalty assessed. |
|
| A BRITISH two-year-old was critically ill in Cyprus last night after drinking cleaning fluid in the Curium Palace hotel in Limassol. |
