Glenn Theodore Seaborg was born in Ishpeming, Michigan, on April 19, 1912. At the age of 10 he moved with his family to California, in 1929 he graduated at David Starr Jordan High School in Los Angeles as valedictorian of his class. He entered the University of California, Los Angeles , in 1929, and received the degree of Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley University of Chicago Metallurgical Laboratory. He was co-discoverer of plutonium and all further transuranium elements through element 102. In addition to the discovery of transuranium elements, Dr. Seaborg and his colleagues are responsible for the identification of more than 100 isotopes of elements throughout the Periodic Table. He is also author of the actinide concept of heavy element electronic structure. In this connection, Dr. Seaborg demonstrated that the heavy elements form a "transition" series of actinide elements in a manner analogous to the rare-earth series of lanthanide elements. The concept demonstrated how the heavy elements fit into the Periodic Table and thus demonstrated their relationships to the other elements. The body of information assembled in Dr. Seaborg's laboratory has made it possible to predict the radioactive characteristics of many isotopes of elements still to be found. Under Dr. Seaborg's leadership, also, whole new bodies of methodology and instrumentation have been developed and have become a cornerstone of modern nuclear chemistry. Dr. Seaborg is the author of approximately 200 scientific papers, including a number of comprehensive reviews and compilations in scientific publications. He is also author and co-author of several books on chemistry and the elements.

Glenn Theodore Seaborg (1912–1999) was involved in identifying nine transuranium elements (94 through 102), and he served as chairman of the United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) from 1961 to 1971. In 1951 he shared the Nobel Prize in chemistry with the physicist Edwin M. McMillan. Born in Michigan, Seaborg earned his bachelor's degree at the University of California at Los Angeles and his doctorate in chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley. He then served as research assistant to G. N. Lewis and eventually became chancellor of the university. He worked away from Berkeley during two significant periods: once to participate in the Manhattan Project at the University of Chicago from 1942 to 1946 and then again to chair the AEC—from which he returned to Berkeley. In 1940 Edwin McMillan, assisted by Philip Abelson (later editor of Science magazine), confirmed and elucidated the phenomenon of nuclear fission announced by Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann in 1939. Specifically, he identified element 93, neptunium, among the fission products of uranium that was bombarded with neutrons produced from deuterons using the small (27-inch) cyclotron at Berkeley. McMillan also predicted the existence of element 94, plutonium, which he expected to find among the products of uranium under direct deuteron bombardment. McMillan, however, was suddenly called away to do war work and eventually joined the program at Los Alamos to build nuclear bombs. After World War II, his scientific reputation was enhanced by his critical contributions to the theory of particle accelerators.

After the war, Seaborg was named head of the nuclear chemistry division of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, later becoming director and then director emeritus of the laboratory. He served as chairman of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission from 1961 to 1971. Seaborg codiscovered the elements plutonium (and its isotope Pu-239), americium curium berkelium californium ... mendelevium , and nobelium .

Glenn Seaborg and Edwin McMillan 1951 Nobel Prize for Chemistry Presentation of Award Acceptance Speeches Biography Submitted by Dr. Seaborg to the Nobel Committee Biography Submitted by Dr. McMillian to the Nobel Committee Presentation of Award: 1951 Nobel Prize for Chemistry Dr. Glenn Seaborg and Dr. Edwin McMillan on the day they were notified that they had won the Nobel Prize, October 1951. Professor Arne Westgren, Chairman of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry Your Majesties! Your Royal Highnesses! Ladies and Gentlemen! In his famous treatise on air and fire, published in 1777, Scheele writes that in some quarters at that time it was regarded as futile to make any more research into what elements bodies might consist of. "A depressing prospect," he adds, "for those whose greatest pleasure it is to study the composition of substances found in nature." Scheele's own experience and the subsequent developments up to our day have shown that, at the end of the 18th Century, there certainly still was enough to do for those who wanted to discover new elements. At least as many elements as were then known still remained to be discovered. Dr. and Mrs. Edwin McMillan. Nobel Prize notification.

March 5, 1999 "There is a beauty in discovery." Glenn Theodore Seaborg (1912-1999) W hat is there to say about a career in which you win all the major awards in your field and the accolades you garner come from highly esteemed peers, presidents and other world leaders, celebrities from the sports and entertainment industries, and students of all ages? What is there to say about a life that was shared with a beloved wife of more than 56 years, much of it in a redwood house they designed themselves in which they raised six children? What is there to say about a man whose discoveries altered the course of history, immortalized his name on the periodic table of chemical elements and in the archives of the Nobel Prize Awards, and extended the life of his own mother? SEABORG WAS EXULTANT OVER THE ADDITION OF SEABORGIUM TO THE PERIODIC TABLE Glenn Theodore Seaborg passed away in his home early in the evening on February 25, 1999, following a stroke he suffered last August. The news was carried by every major newspaper in the country. That is what happens when giants shed their mortal coils, but the sadness conveyed in many of those stories comes only when the deceased personally touched the lives of the writers. For those of us at this laboratory, whether you knew him as Glenn, or as Dr. Seaborg, it is no surprise that so many writers were moved to eloquence. To know him at all, or to know about his life is to recognize that Glenn Theodore Seaborg was truly a man in full.

HOME INTRO SYMBOLS ALMANAC ... WEBMASTER Glenn Theodore Seaborg Born: April 19, 1912 Place: Ishpeming, Michigan Died: February 25, 1999 Place: Lafayette, California G lenn Theodore Seaborg was born April 19, 1912 in Ishpeming, a town on Michigan's Upper Peninsula. His mother was a Swedish immigrant and his father was the son of immigrants, and Glenn learned Swedish at home before he learned to speak English. He loved the outdoors and his Upper Peninsula surroundings. He enjoyed athletics, and, of course, skiing was a natural in his northern environment. Although Seaborg's family packed up and moved to California when Glenn was ten years old, he always remembered his early Michigan upbringing with fondness, and his Swedish ancestry with pride. Even in his later years, when he gained international fame, he would refer to his Michigan roots and Swedish heritage in his speeches to scientific gatherings. S eaborg and his family found life in California to be a challenge. Money was scarce, so Seaborg set his sights on attending a state university. In high school he discovered that he was intrigued by the sciences, especially physics and chemistry. He entered UCLA after graduating from high school, majored in chemistry, and received his BA from UCLA in 1934. He went on to receive a Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley. Seaborg thrived in the Berkeley research facilities, and he became widely acknowledged and respected by his fellow researchers. O n February 23, 1941, Seaborg and his team of researchers made history when they discovered a new chemical element, element 94, which they dubbed "plutonium". This discovery attracted the attention of the U.S. government, and Seaborg was recruited to join the Manhattan Project in its quest to create atomic weapons. The Chicago Metallurgical Laboratory became the base of Seaborg's research as he led the U.S. quest to develop an atomic bomb before Hitler could do the same. The team was successful, and the dropping of the world's first atomic bomb on Hiroshima was the outcome. Ironically, Seaborg and other researchers had petitioned President Harry Truman not to use the bomb on populated areas, but instead to demonstrate its power by detonating it over an unpopulated remote island, but this was not to be. After the detonation of the nuclear weapon, Seaborg spent the rest of his life promoting peaceful applications of nuclear technology.

Seaborg, Glenn (Theodore) US nuclear chemist. For his discovery of plutonium and research on the transuranic elements, he shared a Nobel prize 1951 with his co-worker Edwin McMillan. Seaborg was born in Michigan and studied at the University of California. During part of World War II he was at the metallurgical laboratory at Chicago University, where much of the early work on the atomic bomb was carried out. He was professor at the University of California at Berkeley 1945-61, and chair of the Atomic Energy Commission 1961-71, encouraging the rapid growth of the US nuclear-power industry. He returned to Berkeley 1971. Transuranic elements are all radioactive and none occurs to any appreciable extent in nature; they are synthesized by transmutation reactions. Seaborg was involved in the identification of plutonium (atomic number 94) 1940, americium (95) 1944-45, curium (96) 1944, berkelium (97) 1949, californium (98) 1950, einsteinium (99) 1952, fermium (100) 1953, mendelevium (101) 1955, and nobelium (102) 1957
