Aft er many false reports of its occurrence in nature, promethium was finally identified in 1947 in fission productsby Jacob A. Marinsky, Lawrence E. Glendenin, and Charles D. Coryell. It was named after the Greek mythological character Prometheus who stole fire from the heavens. No stable isotopes of Pm exist, its longest lived isotope being Pm-145 (half life 17.7 years), but... 

Charles D. Coryell, 1912-. Professoi of chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Consultant to the Brookhaven and Oak Ridge National Laboratories of the United States Atomic Energy Commission. The studies of J. A. Marinsky and L. E. Glendenin in his group led to the chemical identification of the missing element 61, which in 1949 was officially named promethium. Dr. Coryell participates actively in the scientific efforts of the Federation of American Scientists and of the United World Federalists toward peace and world stability. 

I wish to express my deepest respect and thanks to the two radiochemists who taught me, William S. Lyon at ORNL and Charles D. Coryell at MIT. 

There remained one last truant element 61, a member of the lanthanides ( rare earths ) that had confused great chemists for more than a century (chapter 1). In 1945, Jacob Marinsky (1918- ) and Larry Glendenin (1918- ), working with Charles D. Coryell (1912-71) at Oak...

In 1939, an element subsequently named francium, number 87, was discovered in Paris by Marguerite Percy, and in 1940 Segre discovered astatine, element 85. The final piece of the jigsaw puzzle, element 61, promethium, was finally obtained as a byproduct in a nuclear reaction. The discoverers on this occasion were Jacob Marinsky, Lawrence Glendenin, and Charles Coryell. ... 

Discovery Charles D. Coryell, Jacob A. Marinsky and Lawrence E. Glendenin discovered Pm in fission products from a nuclear reactor at Oak Ridge, Tennessee in 1945 (1943). Pm was isolated by the ion-exchange technique. It was the last discovery of a rare earth element.

On 1 January 1948, Rolla s older brother (by 10 years), a lawyer, passed away. In the same year, a communication from the lUPAC Inorganic Chemistry Nomenclature Committee served to open an old wound [172]. W. Conard Femelius (1905-86), Chair of the Committee, and Charles CoryeU of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology consulted RoIIa regarding the tricky issue of naming element 61. This query was not an obligatory act of courtesy but a clumsy attempt to neutralize the interference of another discoverer, B. Smith Hopkins. A year before, the actual discoverers, Marinsky, Glendenin, and Coryell on one hand, and the physicists Marion L. Pool (1900-82) and Lawrence Larkin QuiU (1901-89) on the other, had submitted a series of proposals on how to name it.
