Where detected

In natural uranium (uranium and radium are in equilibrium), radium dominates the spectrum. At the beginning of the spectrum, the lines are broader because of the merging X-ray lines of uranium and radium. It is found in minerals, building materials (often granite), and some foods (e.g. Brazil nuts).
