No. Dangerous radiation is produced by radioactivity, but equally dangerous radiation can also be produced by other means such as an X-ray machine. Radioactivity is the name we give to the processes where an unstable nucleus of an atom changes into a different nucleus. Particles such as alpha, beta and gamma are given off during the change; we refer to these particles as nuclear radiation. Radiation is technically any form of energy that can travel through space in the form of waves. So, light and microwaves and radio/TV broadcasting are all technically forms of radiation, and are not produced by radioactivity.
