Where californium usually found?
Californium is a man made element; usually found in nuclear physics/radiochemistry laboratories.
Do they use californium in nuclear bombs?
Californium was not used in nuclear weapons. While not used, californium is produced in fusion (hydrogen) bomb explosions and is found in their fallout.
What is californium's natural state of matter?
Californium does not occur naturally. It is produced as a result of nuclear explosions and nuclear experiments.
Where what city or state was Californium found?
The first isotope of californium was discovered in 1950 at Berkeley Radiation Laboratories, California, USA.
What items contains californium?
Californium is radioactive and all the applications of it involve its radioactivity rather than its chemitry, so you might find it in neutron moisture guages for example.
