Cracked by Peregrine and Dinesh
Fermium (after Enrico Fermi; Z=100) was first discovered by a team led by Albert Ghiorso in 1952. The team found 255Fm in the debris of the first hydrogen bomb explosion.
Question number 100 :)

The explosion is operation Ivy, designed by Richard Garwin, a student of Enrico Fermi (2nd visual). Fermium is the 100th element in the periodic table. Congrats on reaching the milestone and keep the good work going.
After wikiing Fermi, a better connect seems to be that Fermi was strongly opposed to the hydrogen bomb (Operation Ivy was the first H-Bomb) and contrarily had also worked on some preliminary designs for the bomb.

pic 2: Enrico Fermi
Ivy Mike was the codename given to the first US test of a fusion device. The device was created by Richard Garwin, a student of Enrico Fermi.
No idea y now...
