Isotopes of fermium
Revision as of 16:03, 23 September 2010 by Physchim62 (talk | contribs)
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.
