Yeah, I have a radiation alarm. It was going off continually, for a moment I thought it was defective. Turns out I had a thermocouple wire leaking some RF. Burnt the piss out of my fingers, like picking up a red hot paper clip. Shut off the magnetron and the wire was totally cool to the touch. Bit of aluminum foil as a choke and all was well. Next step is coupling a second magnetron to this cavity.
