1.6 PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT The state of knowledge dictates the preliminary assessment of the effect of SPS specific microwave radiation on health and ecology. In essence, the presently available information is too limited, contradictory, and incomplete to provide the requisite level of certainty which would permit an unqualified endorsement of the SPS concept. In this preliminary assessment, the values presented in Ref. 1.8.6 were used as proposed limits of exposure of humans. Maximum power density from a single SPS were taken from Ref. 1.8.7. These values are summarized in Table 1.1. 1.6.1 Effects on Public Health and Safety Public health and safety may be affected by the following factors: Table 1.1. Ranges and Limits of Power.Density for Microwave Exposure3 aSee Solar Power Satellite Baseline Review by MSFC-JSC, July 13, 1978
