JPL Preliminary Examination of SPS Occupational Health

OCCUPATIONAL INJURIES AND ILLNESSES The occupational health impacts associated with the material acquisition (including mining), fabrication, and construction have been estimated for the following systems (Refs. 2 and 3): (1) One 5-GW Rectenna Site (2) One Launch Site (3) One Space Transportation System (4) One 10-GW SPS (Material acquisition and ground fabrication) (5) Total SPS System Scenario A A. RECTENNA SITE The construction phase for a rectenna has the highest occupational health hazards (see Table 4) primarily due to the highest manpower Table 4.
