Depleted Uranium
Caesium-137 as it decays by beta emission.
A radioactive element in period 6 of the periodic table is Polonium (Po). It is a highly radioactive metal with no stable isotopes. Its most stable isotope, Polonium-210, has a half-life of about 138 days.
Yes, americium is a radioactive metal. This element has no stable isotopes.
Thorium can be used as fertile material (as ThO2) in nuclear power reactors; is a precursor of the fissile isotope 233U. This type of reactor is called a breeder: the reactor produce more fissile material than it consumes. It is a very strange and important characteristic.
Most metals are stable and thus not radioactive.
Uranium is a radioactive element; the isotope 235 is fissile with thermal neutrons; the isotope 238 is not so fissile but is fertile (transformation in the fissile isotope plutonium 239). Consequently, uranium is a good nuclear fuel and also can be used in nuclear weapons.

Yes. Uranium is a radioactive metal
Curium is a metal. It belongs to actinides.
Yes, americium is a radioactive metal. This element has no stable isotopes.
Darmstadtium is a radioactive metal but supplementary data are not known.
No: Iodine is not a metal at all, but a nonmetal. It is not necessarily radioactive, but has some radioactive isotopes.

Yes, uranium is a radioactive metal.
No. Radon is a radioactive noble gas.
Most metals are stable and thus not radioactive.
