A radioactive material is radioactive. Period. The atoms of radioactive material have unstable nuclei. If you combine them with other material, the radioactive material will remain unaffected as regards its radioactivity. Recall that radioactivity is related to the instability of atomic nuclei, and the atomic structure of atomic nuclei are (in general) not involved in chemical bonding. Chemical bonding doesn't affect the stability of the nuclei of atoms. If they are unstable, they will remain so whether the atoms are alone or chemically combined with something else.
