Uranium is an element; it cannot be 'made' as it were. It is similar to iron or oxygen in that respect.Only supernova explosions are powerful enough to actually make uranium or any element heavier than nickel and iron. Some uranium can be made in nuclear breeder reactors or in labs by bombarding thorium samples with neutrons.


Does the isotope occur naturally or is it man-made?

Francium occurs naturally, although extremely rare. It can and is made in labs. Although it is considered a naturally occurring element, there is only about one ounce of it in the Earth's crust at any one time. Scientists reproduce it in labs so they can study it, ect. So little is known about Francium now; if we didn't reproduce it in labs we would know next to nothing about it.
