I think you're thinking of his power the wrong way.Assuming his regeneration/healing requires concsious direction/guidance to deal with this kind of damage, even for only a portion of the total process, he'd need to stretch his awareness of the damage and scale of it according to how much exposure he's had. Aberrant cell mutations and defective replication are likely to interfere to varying degrees or possibly even be exacerbated by the regenerative process.
Given the MC doesn't have the same kinds of knowledge or experience as Xanthe or even Ella when it comes to dealing with new (to him) kinds of dangerous biological interactions and effects, it's likely he'll waste time having his body fight back in the wrong way at first.
That kind of mistake could lead to having to rewrite/repair genetic and cell damage in sections or possibly even just hack the worst effected parts off/out and make repairs like he was regrowing parts instead.
It is explicitly not 'regeneration/healing' like Deadpool or Wolverine, but the result of his shapeshifting returning his body to the form he wants.
He explicitly does not need conscious thought to return to his default form, and while he does need conscious thought for his transformations, if he has a template it's more just "I want to turn into this" rather than arranging all the atoms correctly as Ella apparently does.
So, based on what you've said, it seems like he'd have no problem with radiation.
Although I believe it is also explicitly stated (during one of their spars in H.E.R.O.) that Michael's radiation damage does slow his 'healing', so who knows.
