Americium

  • Chapter

Abstract

Americium, element 95, was discovered in 1944–45 by Seaborg et al. [1] at the Metallurgical Laboratory of the University of Chicago. The reaction used was:

$$ {}^{239}Pu(n,\gamma ){}^{240}Pu(n,\gamma ){}^{241}Pu\xrightarrow[{14yr}]{{{\beta ^ - }}}{}^{241}Am $$

Americium-241 is an alpha emitter with a half-life of 433 years. This reaction is still the best source of the pure 241 Am available today.
