 Curium is a transuranic radioactive
chemical element with
symbol Cm and atomic number 96. This
element of the actinide series was
named after Marie and Pierre Curie –
both were known for their research
on radioactivity.
Glenn T. Seaborg
 Born April 19, 1912
 Ishpeming, Michigan
 DiedFebruary 25, 1999
 Lafayette, California
 Curium-244 was used in the Alpha Proton
X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) which
measured the abundance of chemical
elements in rocks and soils on Mars.
Curium-244 is a strong alpha emitter and
is being studied as a potential power
source in radioisotope thermoelectric
generators (RTGs) for use in spacecraft
and other remote applications.
