Sejarah
Berkelium was discovered by Glenn T. Seaborg, Albert Ghiorso and Stanley G. Thompson in 1949 at the University of California, Berkeley.

It was produced by the bombardment of americium with alpha particles.

Berkelium was isolated in greater quantities for the first time by Burris Cunningham and Stanley Thompson in 1958.

Aplikasi
Berkelium is mainly used for scientific research purposes.

Berkelium-249 is a common target nuclide to prepare still heavier transuranic elements and transactinides, such as lawrencium, rutherfordium and bohrium.

It is also useful as a source of the isotope californium-249.
Berkelium is harmful due to its radioactivity
