It didn't say that it would make anything radioactive, it said there was a radiation hazard. Radar is in fact radiation, it's just non-ionizing which means that unless you're dealing with massive power levels it's generally safe to be around. If they're warning of an extreme radiation hazard it's either not radar, or they're pumping a ridiculous amount of power into it.
