test_element_isNaturallyOccurring()

Test isNaturallyOccurring method by manually testing all elements.

Uses RIPL definitions of naturally occurring. Protactinium is debated as naturally occurring. Yeah it exists as a U235 decay product but it’s kind of pseudo-natural.

Test Case: Get elements by Z to show if they are naturally occurring. T_ARMI_ND_ELEMENTS3
