Radioactive isotopes are used for radioactive dating. For example, you would use radioactive isotope Carbon-14 to date anything under 70,000 years that was once living. Radioactive isotopes decay from their parent isotope to daughter isotope at a constant rate (under any circumstances). The rate at which a parent isotope decays to its daughter isotope is considered one half life. Carbon-14 has a half life of 5730 years and its daughter isotope is Nitrogen-14. In order to determine how old something is you have to find out how much of the parent isotope is present in relation to the daughter.
Absolute dating is a radioactive isotope the geologist can use to learn the exact age of the rock.
Radon is naturally produced by the radioactive decay of Uranium, through Radium. There is no industrial or laboratory production of it, since ot has no practical use and is highly radioactive itself.
The isotope of carbon is used to date the ancient fossils. Since every living creature had organic matter and carbon is an integral part of that organic matter, it is conventional to use carbon isotope.
Any use, radon is a radioactive and very dangerous gas !

Each radioactive isotope has been decaying at a constant rate since the formation of the rocks in which it occurs

My nerdy brother wants to start a radioactive dating website! The use of radiometric, or radioactive, dating was initiated in 1907 by Bertram Boltwood.

No, carbon dating does not use nuclear fusion. Carbon dating is a method used to determine the age of organic materials by measuring the remaining levels of a radioactive isotope called carbon-14. This process involves the decay of carbon-14, not nuclear fusion.
