polonium

The polonium itself, with its rarity and trail of irradiated locations (see article) ought to be a telling clue.

Preliminary study of the removal of polonium contamination by neutron- irradiated lead-bismuth eutectic.

Due to its scarcity, Polonium-210 for commercial use is produced artificially in a nuclear reactor.

Madame Curie named it polonium in honour of her native country .

In honour of her motherland, she named it polonium.

Just after his agonising death, under police guard, on November 23rd, the poison that killed him was identified as radioactive polonium.

Mr Litvinenko is thought to be the first person to die from acute polonium-210 poisoning.

Polonium is a naturally radioactive metallic element.

With the exception of polonium, the elements of group VIA are typical nonmetals.

Polonium-210 is particularly deadly because it travels easily through the body.

The most common production of Polonium is by synthetically making it.

This is because the radioactivity emanating from polonium-210 is in the form of highly energetic alpha particles.

The victim was Alexander Litvinenko, an ex-KGB man who defected to Britain and was poisoned last year with polonium-210.

Curie and his wife spent a few decades before the development of radium and polonium;
