Is radiation an xray?

No, they can't. X-rays, at least the high energy ones, are a form of ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation can break chemical bonds, but it cannot activate a substance. That is, X-rays cannot make a substance radioactive. Only particulate radiation can "induce" radioactivity, and that will happen according to the type of particulate radiation and the material being bombarded. Cosmic rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation even more energetic than X-rays, and even they cannot make a substance radioactive. Because X-rays cannot make a substance radioactive, they cannot make a site, a room, or an area of any kind radioactive.
