Element that gives off nuclear energy?

Any element that gives off radioactivity in the form of alpha or beta is undergoing a nuclear reaction and emitting some energy in doing so. Naturally ocurring radioactive materials include radium, radon, uranium. There are hundreds of radioactive isotopes produced artificially as well, from many other elements.
