On Earth, naturally occurring radionuclides fall into three categories: primordial radionuclides, secondary radionuclides, and cosmogenic radionuclides.

  • Secondary radionuclides are radiogenic isotopes derived from the decay of primordial radionuclides. They have shorter half-lives than primordial radionuclides. They arise in the decay chain of the primordial isotopes thorium-232, uranium-238, and uranium-235 - such as the natural isotopes of polonium and radium - some are also produced by natural fission and other nucleogenic processes.[citation needed]
  • Cosmogenic isotopes, such as carbon-14, are present because they are continually being formed on Earth, typically in the atmosphere, due to the action of cosmic rays.[citation needed]
