Sodium does not have naturally occurring radioactive isotopes - as it has only 1 naturally occurring isotope, which has 11 protons and 12 neutrons, and is not radioactive. However, the 18 other known types of sodium isotopes are all radioactive, and sodium-22 (the most stable radioactive sodium isotope) has a half life of 2.6 years.
