Naturally occurring ruthenium (₄₄Ru) is composed of seven stable isotopes (of which two may in the future be found radioactive). Additionally, 27 radioactive isotopes have been discovered. Of these radioisotopes, the most stable are ¹⁰⁶Ru, with a half-life of 373.59 days; ¹⁰³Ru, with a half-life of 39.26 days and ⁹⁷Ru, with a half-life of 2.9 days.

Twenty-four other radioisotopes have been characterized with atomic weights ranging from 86.95 u (⁸⁷Ru) to 119.95 u (¹²⁰Ru). Most of these have half-lives that are less than five minutes, except ⁹⁴Ru (half-life: 51.8 minutes), ⁹⁵Ru (half-life: 1.643 hours), and ¹⁰⁵Ru (half-life: 4.44 hours).

The primary decay mode before the most abundant isotope, ¹⁰²Ru, is electron capture and the primary mode after is beta emission. The primary decay product before ¹⁰²Ru is technetium and the primary product after is rhodium.

Because of the very high volatility of ruthenium tetroxide (RuO
₄) ruthenium radioactive isotopes with their relative short half-life are considered as the second most hazardous gaseous isotopes after iodine-131 in case of release by a nuclear accident.^[4]^[5]^[6] The two most important isotopes of ruthenium in case of nuclear accident are these with the longest half-life: ¹⁰³Ru (39.26 days) and ¹⁰⁶Ru (373.59 days).^[5]

Geologically exceptional samples are known in which the isotopic composition lies outside the reported range. The uncertainty in the atomic mass may exceed the stated value for such specimens.^{[citation needed]}
In September 2017 an estimated amount of 100 to 300 TBq (0.3 to 1 g) of ¹⁰⁶Ru was released in Russia, probably in the Ural region. It was, after ruling out release from a reentering satellite, concluded that the source is to be found either in nuclear fuel cycle facilities or radioactive source production. In France levels up to 0.036mBq/m³ of air were measured. It is estimated that over distances of the order of a few tens of kilometres around the location of the release levels may exceed the limits for non-dairy foodstuffs.^[7]
