Cerium is an inner transition metal.
Europium is radioactive, though for most practical purposes it can be treated as stable. 52.2% of europium is stable. 47.8%, is radioactive 151Eu, but the half life of this is long, at 5,000,000,000,000,000,000 years. Like all other elements, europium has radioactive synthetic isotopes.
