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. This is also the first Transactinide element.
