Yes, uranium is a natural chemical element.
Natural technetium exist only in infinitesimal traces in some uranium deposits.
Uranium is the heaviest naturally occurring actinide.
Uranium
Uranium and thorium are the two actinides that occur naturally in the Earth's crust. They are found in low concentrations and have important roles in various nuclear reactions and processes.
Plutonium has no ores; plutonium exist naturally in extremely traces in uranium ores.
Almost every element from hydrogen to uranium (going from smallest to biggest) is found naturally on Earth. Technitium is not found naturally on Earth, it is the exception. The trans-uranic elements are also not found naturally on Earth.
1. Uranium exist naturally in rocks, soils, air and waters. 2. Man made contamination is from plants and mines leakages.
Americium is an artificial element (only extremely traces exist naturally on the earth); it is obtained by nuclear reactions (from uranium or plutonium) and a very long and difficult process of separation.

Now californium is considered as the heaviest naturally occurring chemical element.
All the isotopes of uranium are radioactive and unstable.
