Fermium is an artificial element, and has no stable or naturally occuring isotopes. The first isotope to be discovered was 255100Fm, in fallout from the first test of a hydrogen bomb, codenamed 'Ivy Mike', in 1952. 250100Fm was discovered independently in 1954.

Values marked # are estimated from systematic trends rather than experimentally measured.
Spins quoted in parentheses are uncertain in value and/or parity.
Sources: Except as otherwise noted,
isotopic masses and associated energies are taken from the AME 2003 dataset;[1]
nuclear spins and decay properties are taken from NUBASE 2003.[2]
