in the United States is one thousand times as large as the similar standard (based on nonthermal effects) in the Soviet Union. The second, that since the feathers of migratory birds are thought to function as antennae, large concentrations of electromagnetic power, such as are envisioned for Satellite Power Station, might serve to disorient and to disrupt the migratory patterns of these birds, in addition to other possible side effects. Potential impacts of the solar ultraviolet radiation upon manned operation under long-term exposure situations are under investigation. At the present time there do not seem to be any problems to arise from the UV since protective measures to be used against the trapped radiation environment would automatically ameliorate the UV problem.
