Uranium dating is recommended.
Thorium dating (but with the isotope 230Th, not with the isotope 232Th) is recommended to minerals old of up to 500 000 years.
I think the closest to uranium chemically is lanthanum, but you might want to check periodic table to be sure, it would be right above it.
Uranium is the element that decays at a rate that relates to the sample. Uranium is the element that decays at a rate that relates to the sample.
The method of uranium-lead dating.
It is not yet discovered since all of the uranium isotopes are having half life for several millions of years. We would be able to find it after atleast 700 millions of years.

Actinium is found in uranium and thorium ores.
Francium exists in uranium and thorium ores.
francium is found in thorium and uranium ores in the earth's crust obtained by the decay of actinium
The half-life is 700 million years !
Uranium had three advantages over other nuclear fuel, and several disadvantage. The potential other fuel was thorium. A comparison of the two systems includes:Uranium reactors are simpler than thorium reactorsThe byproducts of the uranium reaction (plutonium) can be used to make nuclear weapons.Uranium is rare and rapidly becomes a limited resource while thorium is common and virtually unlimited. The US had access to uranium through its own reserves and Canada.Thorium reactors "fail safe" if there is a problem, the nuclear reaction stops and the reactor becomes cold and inert. Uranium creates ongoing problems when they have an uncontrolled failure
A nuclear reactor is a device to initiate, control, and sustain a nuclear chain reaction. Nuclear power is energy produced from controlled nuclear reactions. When it comes to just standard fuel across the table it would have to be: Plutonium, Uranium, and Thorium.

If the sample of plutonium was the correct isotope and near it's critical mass (300g IIRC) then it would gain sufficient mass to go super critical and undergo fission. This is the principal with which the first ever nuclear weapons were detonated. However if you're firing at a smaller sample it's unlikely there would be anything other than a chemical reaction with the uranium igniting and forming uranium oxide.
If two protons and two neutrons are removed from a uranium nucleus, the new element is thorium. The isotope cannot be determined because the identity of the uranium isotope was not given.

PPM describes the amount of a substance in a sample. For example: If you have one million pounds of goo that is 1 part per million (PPM) GOLD, you would have one pound of gold in the million total pounds of goo. PPM is typically used to define how much of a pollutant is in a sample of air. If the sample was determined to be 6 ppm hydrocarbon in a sample, that would mean that of the million moles of the sample of air (the weight of the atoms that make up the sample) there would be 6 moles of the hydrocarbon specified, which, depending on the complexity of the hydrocarbon, could end up being one atom of the hydrocarbon in the sample.
Thorium is a element, just as uranium is. The naturally occurring isotope is thorium-232, which can absorb a neutron to produce thorium-233. This undergoes rapid decay to produce protactinium-233, and then uranium-233. The uranium-233 is fertile. Since all this can happen within an atomic reactor, the net effect is that naturally occurring thorium, with a little help to get neutrons, can fuel atomic reactors. Thorium differs from other fuels in several important ways. First off, it is far more abundant than uranium, and it does not need to be enriched. This means it is potentially a less expensive fuel both in terms of price and in terms of effort and energy to bring into use at the reactor. Also, there are very real possibilities of thorium fuel rods being built that can simply replace the fuel rods of current reactors. Second, the uranium-233 has much more damaging radiation than the uranium-235. This is both good and bad. It is bad, because it means better shielding has to be used at the reactor, but this might not mean much at many reactors already in use. The good is that it reduces the likelihood of theft of radioactive waste for terrorist purposes, because it would very like kill anyone who attempted such a thing. Thorium also could be used in energy amplifiers or accelerator driven systems, which, if successful, might be able to reduce present nuclear wast to materials that are not particularly dangerous over the long term. If thorium is used in this way, there is probably enough of it to power the world at current demand levels for several thousand years, and the waste could be rendered relatively safe in the process. Research in this system is not moving very fast, possibly because there seems to be no incentive to do it in the United States. I am providing links below to articles on thorium and energy amplifiers.
