Ultimate Alien of Earth!

Status update:

10/9 - Still trying to find me?  I love hide and go seek!

10/10 - No firefighter needed! I'm just burning away diseases...

10/11 - I'm having a hot temper... I think I might explode!!!!

11/4 - I'm soooooo sad... nobody seems to remember that I'm alive.  It's like I'm a random tumbleweed that everyone just sees then just forgets... Neither carbon, sodium, nor magnesium want to have a single-displacement bond with me. :(

11/5 - No wonder I'm unstable... I don't have any job in balancing chemical equations!

Overview:

I don't have a lot of information about me yet because my life span of about eight hours; there is only an ounce of me in the whole planet!  I burn up in a human being's hand, so there's never been a direct interaction with me and the scientists.  I have an atomic mass of about 210, and I melt at 302 degrees Celsius.  I don't have thermal or electrical conductivity, but I have polarizability of 6 A^3.

Activities & Interests:

I am created in a lot of nuclear labs because I am radioactive.  I am used inside of nuclear weapons.  Not only can I be destructible, but I also help human beings in medicine.  Doctors use my radioactive characteristic to kill tumor cells in places such as the brain.

Because nobody cares about my existence, I am not really in any known reactions.  I'm just FOREVER ALONE!

Places:

10/9 -  Checked in to GANIL, France for an overnight stay!

10/10 -  Zoomed in at JINR, Russia

10/11 - Living my half-life at CERN, Switzerland

11/5 - Besides the labs, I have no place to call home because no one wants to bond with me... :(

 Me and my friends - Around the World

With my nitrogen mustard buddies,

we are curing brain cancer in the Cancer 

Treatment Centers of America!

I'm in a radioactive tracer 

for the medical field of human

beings... Hopefully I'll be promoted to the x-ray manager!

I am a potential client to humans for nuclear weapons! 

Treating thyroid cancer at the National Cancer Institute in the USA!

Because I am like my friend uranium, I can be used as a substitute to prove e=mc^2 by scientists doing their magic trick of "cutting me in half."
