The element flerovium takes its name from the Russian scientist Georgy Flerov. He founded the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubná, Russia, where this element was first produced in a particle accelerator. Flerovium is highly radioactive and its atoms last only a few seconds before splitting apart.
