Radiation travels slow compared to some other forms of energy. In order for the mechanism of the Halo to work in a relatively short period of time (even using slipspace as a means of traveling between planets), you would need something that moved much, much faster than radiation. Also, radiation drops off the farther away from the source it moves, meaning it starts moving even slower. In addition, if it passed through a planet that was made of a large amount of lead, there would be gaps in the radiation past that planet, and thus it wouldn't affect the entire galaxy.
