Soft silvery metallic element, belongs to the lanthanoids. Pm-147, the
only natural isotope, is radioactive and has a half-life of 252 years.
Eighteen radioisotopes have been produced, but all have very short
half-lives. Found only in nuclear decay waste. Pm-147 is of interest as
a
beta-decay source, however Pm-146 and Pm-148 have to be removed from it
first, as they generate gamma radiation. Discovered by J.A. Marinsky,
L.E. Glendenin and C.D. Coryell in 1947.
