Oil and gas,
Francium is a radioactive element supporting radioactive disintegration.
Francium is a radioactive chemical element an can disintegrate.
It means the element is unstable and gives off dangerous particles.
radioisotope

When an unstable atom gives off particles and gamma rays, it undergoes radioactive decay. This process helps the atom achieve a more stable configuration by releasing excess energy in the form of particles (such as alpha or beta particles) and gamma rays. The atom transforms into a different element or isotope as a result of this decay.
When a nucleus comes apart, it gives off energy in the form of radiation, such as gamma rays, alpha particles, or beta particles. This release of energy is often accompanied by a decrease in the mass of the nucleus due to the conversion of mass into energy.
Any radioactive element gives off subatomic particles, and these particles carry considerable energy. That is the definition of radioactivity. Examples of radioactive elements include uranium, plutonium, polonium, radium, and many more.
It's a semantic thing - by definition, if something gives out radiation, then it is radioactive. If an element gives off radiation, then it is a 'radioactive' element. If it does not give out radiation, then it is not 'radioactive'.
Radioactive material is a substance that gives off high-energy particles or rays, such as alpha, beta, or gamma radiation, due to its unstable atomic structure. These emissions can pose health risks if not handled properly.
Sounds to me like radiation from a radioactive isotope. The breaking down part would be the half-life. But the isotope won't completely break down. Only until it reaches a stable form. Such as, radium-226 decays finally to lead-206. During the process it emits charged Alpha particles.
