I have never seen the term "white radiation" before but "white body radiation" is used by some folks in talking about global warming and the greenhouse effect. As near as I can tell, these are folks who don't understand the relationships between wavelength and emissivity or wavelength and absorption.

Do you have any reaference that we can look at?

Look up "black body radiation" on google or wikipedia. I suspect that white radiation is a sort of badly conceived opposite term.

Does it affect the instruments in any way?

Almost certainly not. They're probably mostly talking about radiated heat.
