²⁸²Cn produced in four ways, three different α-decay chains, and directly in one correlated decay chain:

1. from α-decay chain ²⁹⁴Og -> ²⁹⁰Lv -> ²⁸⁶Fl -> ²⁸²Cn; ²⁹⁴Og produced in four correlated decay chains, but only two of these decay through α decay of ²⁸⁶Fl. See ²⁹⁴Og Adopted Levels, and 2012Og06, 2011Og07, 2006Og05, 2004Og10 and 2004Og12 for details.

2. from α-decay chain ²⁹⁰Lv -> ²⁸⁶Fl -> ²⁸²Cn. ²⁹⁰Lv produced in 12 correlated decay chains, but only seven of these decay through α-decay mode of ²⁸⁶Fl. See ²⁹⁰Lv Adopted Levels, and 2006Og05 and 2004Og07 for details.

3. from α-decay chain ²⁸⁶Fl -> ²⁸²Cn, where ²⁸⁶Fl is produced in 11 correlated decay chains, but only in six of these ²⁸⁶Fl decays by α-decay mode. See ²⁸⁶Fl Adopted Levels, and 2010El06, 2009St21, 2004Og12 and 2004Og10 for details.

4. ²⁸²Cn produced in ²³⁸U(⁴⁸Ca,4n),E=240 MeV (2004Og12,2004OgZZ), where only one SF event is observed and assigned to ²⁸²Cn based on expected cross section, with energy of the evaporation residues (EVR)=10.8 MeV, energy of the SF event=222 MeV, and Δt(SF)=0.207 ms.

2018Ut02: ²⁴⁰Pu(⁴⁸Ca,α2n),E=250 MeV at JINR-Dubna. Several SF decays with measured evaporation residue energy, decay time, and SF energy assigned were observed, eight of these events with 1-ms activity could belong to ²⁸²Cn or ²⁸⁴Fl, the latter through 4n-channel
