In plain terms
The UK study's own experts expect the beam to interfere with electronics in its path, and think it unlikely to have much effect outside the receiving site.
The claim as recorded
The UK Phase 1 study records its own subject matter expert judgement that at 230 W/m2 the beam will likely interfere with electronic devices within the path of the beam, while judging it "unlikely to significantly influence devices outside of the perimeter" of the ground site.
Scope and limits
Expert judgement, explicitly labelled as such by the source, not a measurement or a model result. May not be cited as a measured interference threshold.
What it assumes
No assumptions are recorded against this claim.
Where it comes from
Quoted verbatim, p30: "Our Subject Matter Expert judgement is that, at the levels of energy flux being suggested (230W/m2), this will likely interfere with electronic devices within the path of the beam, however it is unlikely to significantly influence devices outside of the perimeter of the SBSP ground site."
