There are no radioactive isotopes of boron that are ordinarily found in nature. All elements have synthetic radioactive isotopes, however.
Boron is neither explosive nor radioactive. It is a chemical element that is found in nature and is commonly used in various applications, including as a neutron absorber in nuclear reactors and as an ingredient in some types of explosives, but it is not inherently explosive or radioactive on its own.
The modern name of Eka Boron is Francium. It is a highly radioactive element with the symbol Fr and atomic number 87 in the periodic table.
The element used as a target substance in Irene Joliot-Curie's experiments was boron. She bombarded boron with alpha particles, leading to the creation of radioactive nitrogen.

Yes, all elements that are not radioactive occur in nature. In fact, boron is present in small amounts in every rock. It is also quite abundant in the ocean (5 parts per million).
I could be wrong but I think boron is radioactive.

Uranium, boron, hydrogen are chemical elements. Salt (NaCl) is a chemical compound.
I'm wondering this too, for 55 gal drum air filtration canisters. Boron is not radioactive, it is stable. The outer shell of the boron atom has only one electron so the boron atom will grab free electrons until the outer shell is completely full. Then it is saturated and needs to be replaced with new boron. To remove radioactive particles from air I'm looking at boron silicate microfiber, which is used in Nuclear Grade HEPA Type B filters

Usually lead is used for shielding, however I believe Boron is used to in a sense "neutralize" radioactive material. I believe this was discussed in possible solutions for Fukashima

This depends upon the radioactive challenge. Boron has a high neutron capture cross-section, hence the huge quantities of boron used to help sanitize the Chernobyl and Fukishima reactors. But ordinarily, simple massive materials such as massive concrete or lead are materials of choice.
boron was named boron because of the properties it has
Boron-10 (^10B) undergoing neutron capture forms boron-11 (^11B), followed by the emission of an alpha particle (helium-4 atom). The balanced nuclear equation would be: ^10B + n → ^11B + ^4He
