mendelevium
No one yet understands why mendelevium 258 is so long-lived.
From the time.com
In February 1955, the team created mendelevium, element 101, by bombarding einsteinium in the Berkeley cyclotron.

Even more important, mendelevium stays around long enough to make a good target for high-velocity particle accelerators.

The crater Mendeleev on the Moon, as well as element number 101, the radioactive mendelevium, are named after him.
From the en.wikipedia.org
In 1955, element 101 was discovered and named mendelevium in honor of D.I. Mendeleev, the first to arrange the elements in a periodic manner.

To their surprise, they discovered a minute amount-fewer than 30,000 atoms-of a mysterious and heavy isotope, which they later identified as mendelevium 258.
From the time.com
In their latest atomic synthesis, nuclear physicists have produced the heaviest atom known to man, a new isotope of the element mendelevium, which itself was first artificially created in 1965.
