Best Answer

90 of them are naturally occurring on earth. The other 2, technetium and promethium, must be manufactured in reactors or accelerators and are very radioactive. Elements beyond bismuth in the Periodic Table are all radioactive. This leaves a total of 81 natural non radioactive elements. Element 92, the last, is the only one to have a naturally occurring fissile isotope, Uranium-235, that can be used to power reactors or build fission bombs.

That probably wasn't the answer you wanted.
