No, deuterium is stable. It is Tritium that is radioactive.

What is a deuterium example of?
Deuterium is an example of natural, non-radioactive isotope; deuterium is the isotope of hydrogen with 1 proton and 1 neutron.
Is hydrogen ratioactive?
No. Not hydrogen itself. However there are a total of three isotopes of hydrogen - Hydrogen, Deuterium, and Tritium. Tritium is radioactive
Is hydrogen a radioactive element?
The initial dollar store franchise fee is about $20,000. Other fees (including leaseholds, equipment, shelving, inventory and support) will amount to between $100,000-$600,000 depending on the size and location of the store.
What form of hydrogen has 1 proton and one neutron in its nucleus?
Regular hydrogen.
What are the main differences of deuterium and hydrogen?
Deuterium is hydrogen. The difference between deuterium and protium (the regular hydrogen) is that deuterium has an extra neutron. As a result, there are some differences in physical properties such as density, boiling point, etc.
Is dueterium radioactive?
No, deuterium is not radioactive.
What is a deuterium example of?
Deuterium is an example of natural, non-radioactive isotope; deuterium is the isotope of hydrogen with 1 proton and 1 neutron.
What are Radioactive isotopes used for?
Some examples are deuterium and tritium which are radioactive isotopes of hydrogen.
What are some examples of radioactive isotopes?
Some examples are deuterium and tritium which are radioactive isotopes of hydrogen.
Can anyone give you an example of a radioactive substance?
H3, Deuterium is radioactive. Uranium and plutonium are radioactive and are used in atomic bombs.
What is the most powerful fusion weapon?
The hydrogen bomb basically it is the deuterium bomb which is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen.
Is hydrogen element stable or radioactive?
Normal hydrogen is stable.Hydrogen-2 (deuterium) is also stable, but only about one hydrogen atom in a million is deuterium. Hydrogen-3 (tritium) is radioactive, and exceedingly rare. There are trace amounts of tritium on Earth (far, far less than deuterium) due to the interaction of cosmic rays with the atmosphere, particularly with nitrogen.
Why would a fusion reactor produce less radioactive waste than a fission reactor?
In my understanding, this is because a fusion reactor reacts deuterium to produce helium, which is not radioactive, whereas a fission uses uranium or plutonium, for example, which may react to form various radioactive isotopes. A fusion reactor may contain small quantities of tritium, in which case a radioactive isotope of hydrogen may be produced, but given that the majority of reactions occurring involve solely the deuterium, there is less radioactive waste produced.
Is hydrogen ratioactive?

What element name does water have?
Water is not an element, it is a compound and contains hydrogen and oxygen which are elements. Water has scientific names: dihydrogen oxide, deuterium oxide (horsey water) and ditritium oxide (radioactive water)
What is non-radioactive?
Every stable isotope is non radioactive. That is the definition of "stable." It is possible protons have a half life, but if so it exceeds 6.6 decillion years. Hydrogen and deuterium are stable. Tritium (H3) has a half life of about 12 years.
