To determine how many half-lives have passed, you would need to divide the total time passed by the half-life of the substance. The result would give you the number of half-lives that have occurred.

Does radiation contamination fade over time?

Sure but it depends on the radioactive elements halflives

Could there be a more elements that are unknown in the periodic table?

sure, but all will be radioactive with short halflives.

Why can you only get certain amounts of isotopes such as hydrogen having none or 1 or 2 neutrons and not 3 or above?

heavier isotopes can be produces but their halflives are in the microsecond or shorter range.

Does nuclear radiation go away?

No, it doesn't.Wrong, it does. There are 2 types of nuclear radiation: prompt & decay.Prompt nuclear radiation occurs for a period of time while the reaction that generates it is happening. Examples are the flash of neutrons, light, x-rays, etc. when a nuclear bomb explodes as well as the sustained neutron flux as a nuclear reactor is in operation. When the reaction stops, prompt nuclear radiation goes away.Decay nuclear radiation occurs as radioactive isotopes decay to different isotopes. As the decay happens (which is a probabilistic process) the radioactive isotope is consumed. This follows an exponential function with one half of the current amount of the radioactive isotope consumed in each period of time called a halflife. While there will always be a tiny residue of the original radioactive isotope, for practical purposes it is considered to be negligible after 5 halflives have passed. When 5 halflives of the radioactive isotope decaying have passed, decay nuclear radiation is considered to have gone away for practical purposes.
