Radioactive element that has “warm nuclei”, roughly (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lawrencium

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'radioactive element' is the definition.
'lawrencium' can be an answer for 'element' (lawrencium is a kind of element). I am not certain of the 'radioactive' bit.

'warm nuclei roughly' is the wordplay.
'roughly' is an anagram indicator.
'warm'+'nuclei'='warmnuclei'
'warmnuclei' with letters rearranged gives 'LAWRENCIUM'.

'that has' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for lawrencium that I've seen is " Element atomic no. 103".)
