The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Einsteinium was discovered as a component of the debris of the first hydrogen bomb explosion in 1952.
- Its most common isotope, einsteinium-253, is produced artificially from decay of californium-253 in a few dedicated high-power nuclear reactors with a total yield on the order of one milligram per year.
- The reactor synthesis is followed by a complex process of separating einsteinium-253 from other actinides and products of their decay.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Einsteinium article was read about 110,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 80 and blocks with 98: each hit it takes is cut by 39 %.
