Can electrons and or neutrons be extracted from radioactive material ?

Not by bombardment with radiowaves, but bombardment with subatomic particles can remove orbital extra-nuclear electrons (there are no electrons in the nucleus), and can cause instability in the nucleus that leads in some cases to an ejection of neutrons from the nucleus or even disintegration of the nucleus.

proton and neutron, the electrons are on the outer shell

Sure.  Any element can be purified.\n\nNitrogen is fairly easy.  All you have to do is liquify air and let the oxygen and other gases boil off at higher temperatures.  Just reduce the liquid down to around 75 degrees Kelvin.  Water vapor, CO2, and Nitrogen oxides will form solids, which you can decant the liquid from.  Then raise the temperature to about 78 degrees and the nitrogen will boil off (at 77.K, -196C), leaving oxygen which boils at 13 degrees higher.  Collect the gas, nitrogen, that boils off.  If you need to make it even purer, repeat the separation process with the "pure" nitrogen.

Actually, you can turn one element into another by nuclear transmutation. Radioactive elements spontaneously decay over a long period of time and transform into other more stable elements.\n\nSo, doesn't that make Nuclear Physicists Alchemists?\n\nNatural transmutation was applied consciously to modern physics first by Frederick Soddy when he, along with Ernest Rutherford, discovered that radioactive thorium was converting itself into radium in 1901. At the moment of realization, Soddy later recalled, he shouted out: "Rutherford, this is transmutation!" Rutherford snapped back, "For Christ's sake, Soddy, don't call it transmutation. They'll have our heads off as alchemists."\n\nSo, you should study to be a Nuclear Physisicist.

they have the same number of protons and electrons but differing numbers of neutrons.  Since it is the electrons that determin the chemical properties of an element, two isotopes will react the same chemically, but may react differently nuclearly

I know someone in this research area. Info can be found at...\n\nhttp://www.fusionpower.org/\n\nI'd like to say that within 100 years some kind of clean(er) energy will be produced at the atomic level.\n\nBut the hurdles associated with Fusion, really do seem insurmountable at this time.

Most of the naturally occuring stuff comes from unstable atoms.  When the balance between protrons and neutrons is out of whack, the atom will fly apart.  Depending on the atom, it will break apart in one of 3 ways, it will emit an electron (beta decay), part of the nucleus (alpha) or throw off an electromagnetic wave (gamma). \nGamma also commonly comes from high energy particle hitting the atmosphere and shattering atoms.  The interaction releases a shower of other particles some of which release gamma.  It's nothing to worry about as we evolved under these conditions and our bodies are build to handle it.

Do you mean enrichment?\n\nIf so \n\nNE is the process of concentrating specific isotopes of a chemical element by removing other isotopes, for example separating natural uranium into enriched uranium and depleted uranium. This is the crucial process in the creation of a nuclear weapon.\n\nWhile in general chemical elements can be purified through chemical processes, isotopes of the same element have nearly identical chemical properties, which makes this type of separation impractical, except for separation of deuterium.

a nucleus, containing protons and neutrons  and around that nucleus, there are electrons. [Although it more correct to speak of electron clouds, as they are not really localized. ]

Protons, neutrons and electrons.  Of course the first two are composed of something else, but that probably isn't what they are going for here.

As a practical matter, it is impossible.  If the model is the size of a basketball, the nucleus would be a point in the center too small to see, and the electrons would be modeled as fog of various concentrations depending on position.  This applies to all elements, not just krypton.

Yes, and all our environmental problems.   At nuclear fusion temperatures you could make a fusion torch that would decompose waste into useful raw materials and transmute radioactive waste into stable elements.   A fusion reactor isn't likely to be small enough to power cars or aircraft, but the cheap energy it produces could be used to synthesise fuels for these vehicles.   We've been researching controlled nuclear fusion since the 1950s and we haven't made much progress.   But it will solve so many problems that it's worth spending vast amounts of money on this field.   Any technology that doesn't violate any fundamental laws of physics will one day work.

At the bottom of the perodic table...\n\nThey are technetium (at. no. 43), which was the first element to be synthesized, promethium (at. no. 61), astatine (at. no. 85), francium (at. no. 87), and the transuranium elements (at. no. 93 and beyond in the periodic table). Some of these elements have since been shown to exist in minute amounts in nature, usually as short-lived members of natural radioactive decay series (see radioactivity).\n\nThe synthetic elements through at. no. 100 (fermium) are created by bombarding a heavy element, such as uranium or plutonium, with neutrons or alpha particles. The synthesis of the transfermium elements (elements with at. no. 101 or greater) is accomplished by the fusion of the nuclei of two lighter elements. Elements 101 through 106 were first produced by fusing the nuclei of slightly lighter elements, such as californium, with those of light elements, such as carbon. Elements 107 through 112 were first produced by fusing the nuclei of medium-weight elements, such as bismuth or lead, with those of other medium-weight elements, such as iron, nickel, or zinc. Element 114 was first produced by fusing the nuclei of plutonium and calcium and subsequently by fusing the nuclei of lead and krypton, as was element 116. Element 115 was produced by bombarding americium with calcium, and element 113 resulted from the radioactive decay of element 115. The claim by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to have created element 118 has been retracted.)\n\nThe transfermium elements are produced in very small quantities (one atom at a time), and identification is therefore very difficult because of half-lives ranging from minutes to milliseconds and the need to identify the products by methods other than known chemical separations. This has led to controversy over reported discoveries and over the naming of the elements. It has been predicted that one isotope of element 114—containing 114 protons and 184 neutrons—would be very stable because its nucleus would have a full complement of protons and neutrons. Termed an “island of stability,” its half-life might be measured in years. However, none of the three isotopes of element 114 synthesized as yet have as many as 184 neutrons, and their half-lives are still in the millisecond range.

Don't be ridiculous, radioactive stuff doesn't glow. However, Hollywood screenwriters think it does. \n\nIn some instances high-energy radioactive particles will cause other stuff to glow, but that's an exception, not the rule. On old radium watch dials the radioactivity from the radium would cause zinc sulfide to fluoresce, but you cannot see the radioactive particles themselves. Radium by itself will not "glow green" and you cannot see electrons or alpha particles unless they react with something (e.g. the phosphor screens in oscilloscopes).
