Some of the text in this entry was rewritten from Los Alamos National Laboratory - Curium. Additional text was taken directly from the Elements database 20001107 (via dict.org) and WordNet (r) 1.7 (via dict.org). Data for the table were obtained from the sources listed on the subject page and Wikipedia:WikiProject Elements but were reformatted and converted into SI units.

[edit] Curium: watts per gram correction

From the research I see curium 242 gives off 120watts per gram not 2! [1] --BerserkerBen 03:14, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Also http://aaa.nevada.edu/pdffiles/Microsoft%20Word%20-%20Task%2011%20QR%2001-2.pdf - more than I ever wanted to know about thermal effects in curium, but it's a nice reference and confirms the approx. 120 W/g for Cm-242, so I'll put it here. Femto 19:42, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
