Can Water Itself Be Radioactive? Is s it possible for water to be Radioactive? The answer, intriguingly, is yes, but this occurrence is quite rare and typically not a concern for most people.

Water (H2O) is made up of hydrogen and oxygen. There are different types of hydrogen atoms, known as isotopes (same number of protons, different numbers of neutrons). Hydrogen has three isotopes, two of which are stable (not radioactive) and one of which is not stable (radioactive).
