Georgii Nikolayevich Flyorov (also spelled Flerov,[1] Russian: Гео́ргий Никола́евич Флёров, IPA:[gʲɪˈorgʲɪjnʲɪkɐˈlajɪvʲɪtɕˈflʲɵrəf]; 2 March 1913 – 19 November 1990) was a Soviet physicist who is known for his discovery of spontaneous fission and his important contribution towards the crystallography and material science, for which, he was honored with many awards.[1] In addition, he is also known for his letter directed to Joseph Stalin, during the midst of World War II, to start the Soviet program of nuclear weapons in the former Soviet Union.[1]
In 2012, element 114 was named flerovium after the research laboratory at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research bearing his name.[2]
