History In January 1999, Ununquadium was reported informally by scientists at Dubna (Joint Institute for Nuclear Research) in Russia. They apparently used isotopes that came from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA. Their discovery of the element still waits confirmation. Precautions Ununquadium does not occur naturally, but if enough was created and put in one place it would create a radiation hazard.
