Yes they all are
A small percentage of each element in all existence is radioactive and some elements are nearly 100% radioactive if not exactly 100% radioactive, so encountering radioactivity in air, soil, and water is inevitable.

Particles may include metal fragments from within the reactor systems, mineral deposits in the water, or foreign objects introduced into the system accidentally. These materials may become radioactive during exposure to nuclear fission particles and waves. In addition, water molecules in the reactor core undergo chemical reactions during nuclear fission that may transform some atomic elements into radioactive isotopes.
There is also another form of radioactive water, known also as heavy water. The hydrogen atom has a radioactive isotope, called tritum, so if water is made with radioactive hydrogen, it will then be radioactive water.

How long is the half life of radioactive water?
The half life of radioactive water depends on what radioactive nuclides are present in the water.
What is the radioactive half-life of water?
Ordinary water is not radioactive, so it has no half-life.
What happens to a region when radioactive particles are released?
This region become a radioactive contaminated area.
Does brachytherapy make people radioactive?
Patients receiving brachytherapy do become temporarily radioactive
Does intracavitary radiation make people radioactive?
Patients receiving intracavitary radiation do become temporarily radioactive
What happens to the cooling water in a normally functioning nuclear plant does it all become radioactive eventually and how is it treated?
Water itself does not become radioactive, luckily, but any dissolved material in the water in the reactor primary circuit gets irradiated by the neutron flux and so can become radioactive. Therefore it is very important to control the water purity, it is all treated in a demineralisation plant, but then that is normal practice for power plants anyway, the difference in a nuclear plant is that the removed material can be radioactive. The secondary water/steam system in a PWR will not become radioactive, neither will the station cooling water used to cool the turbine condenser.

Does a radioactive element become stable after its mass number become less than 82?
Not always -- Hydrogen-3 is radioactive, for example.
What happens to a region when radioactive particles are released?
This region become a radioactive contaminated area.
Does brachytherapy make people radioactive?
Patients receiving brachytherapy do become temporarily radioactive
How does a person become radioactive?
By becoming unstable
When an atom bomb is exploded in the ocean what happens to the water?
all animals will become radioactive and turn into land animals as the water will all evaporate the water will then fall from the sky in the form of precipitation and drown all the radioactive land animals. a 100km radius of the bomb will be compltetly extinct and have to repopulate their infected shiettt
Does implant therapy make people radioactive?
Patients receiving implant therapy do become temporarily radioactive
Does interstitial radiation make people radioactive?
Patients receiving interstitial radiation do become temporarily radioactive
Does intracavitary radiation make people radioactive?
Patients receiving intracavitary radiation do become temporarily radioactive
What happens when T2 phages are grown in the presence of radioactive phosphorus?
The bacterial proteins will become radioactive
