You're more likely to be burned by overheating food or water than radiation

effects are also delayed over the years as well.  

The biggest problem with microwave ovens for hams is the RFI/EMI it emits.

with it in 1962 by his family, who claimed the accident had happened 
around 1950 in Montana when the DEW line was being installed. As he
