That is a little complicated as it is a question related to quantum mechanics.
So,
When a body is given enough energy(mainly heat) or a sum atomic particle(mainly neutron) the electron of the atom become exited and jump to a higher level of orbit and then they without any delay,return to their original orbits,giving of the excess energy received previously as Electromagnetic radiation.This Electromagnetic radiation may be of different kinds like radio waves,x-rays,visible light,gamma rays etc. That is how nuclear fusion reactors give off radioactive rays.

The neutrons released during the fusion reactions can interact with atoms in the reactor and convert them to radioactive materials. There has been some success in the field of nuclear fusion reactions, but the journey to feasible fusion power is still a long and uncertain one.
