In the 1960s, small amounts of this element were
produced in laboratories in the former Soviet
Union and in California. The priority of the discovery
and therefore the naming of the element was
disputed between Soviet and American scientists, and
it was not until 1997 that International Union of Pure
and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) established ____ as
the official name for the element.
The Soviets proposed the name – Kurchatovium for
this element.
