Those distances are for being in front of the radar dish.
Isn't the more interesting figure how much radar energy there is in the cockpit from the weather radar? (none to speak of)

Also i get the impression people get confused mainly because it's "radiation".
Even without getting a sun burn, the light ("radiation" in the same sense as radar) from the sun will be much much more dangerous than the weather radar for pilots in the cockpit.
