True.

Radioactive materials cannot be destroyed through ordinary means, such as burning or chemical reactions, as the radioactivity is a property of the atomic nucleus itself. While the intensity of the radioactivity of a material may decay over time, the radioactive materials themselves remain in existence indefinitely.

Therefore, proper handling and disposal of radioactive materials are critical to ensure the safety of humans and the environment.
