CAS Reg-ID:7440-71-3
DiscoveryProduced by S.G. Thompson, K. Street Jr., A. Ghiorso and G.T. Seaborg (Berkeley, USA) in 1950
  
Name derived fromNamed after the state of California and the University of California (USA).
  
DescriptionCalifornium-252 is a strong neutron emitter and one microgram emits 170 million neutrons per minute, making it a biological hazard. Proper safeguards should be used in handling californium.
