Curium is very scarce and expensive; today curium has only limited applications: - isotopes 242Cm and 244Cm are used as alpha particles sources for α-spectrometers mounted on spacecraft engines to analyze planetary or cosmic samples. - precursor in the preparation of 238Pu and of isotopes of Sg, Hs, Cf, etc. In the past some other uses were proposed.
