Microwave ovens do not emit any radioactivity. Microwaves use non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, not radioactive materials to heat food, however, if you feel your oven is emitting microwaves externally even with the door shut, this can be potentially dangerous to your health and can, generally, mess with your DNA. Either get it repaired or just toss it and buy a new one but you should stop using the one you suspect is broken immediately!
