How could a creature derive energy from radioactive elements?

Have a creature that doesn't really need vitamins or minerals, it only requires energy which goes through a energy-matter conversion to build what it needs. Radioactive materials would be great sources for this creature's high energy needs.

This creature has extreme regenerative properties so damage from the radioactivity won't be an issue. It is made of elements not in our periodic table so it might not even be affected by radiation damage. It is able to store massive amounts of energy in these tiny pocket-dimension-holding crystals throughout its body, and expel the energy to create destructive energy blasts, fly, etc.

What would it's body have to do for it to obtain the energy from radioactive materials, and what would this do to the material? Would it lose its radioactivity?
