Best Answer

There is radioactive material in any country that has done nuclear tests. In The United States of America there were many tests. These were mostly in Nevada. If you were to get clearance to go to the test site you would see the craters everywhere.

What happens to radioactive materials if you do not use them?

That depends on the radioactive material. But whether you use it or not, the radioactive material will decay into other elements over the course of time. The time it takes for half of the material to decay into something else is called the "half-life". The more radioactive the substance is, the faster it decays. The half-life of a radioactive element can be measured from fractions of a second to billions of years.
