The isotope of hydrogen, tritium, is indeed radioactive resulting in He 3$\ce{^3He}$ through beta decay.

But what of the radioactively 'stable' isotope deuterium?

Are all deuterium atoms destined to be deuterium for eternity or is there any process other than radioactive decay that could lead to transition such as say H 1$\ce{^1H}$?
