In plain terms

None of the main CASSIOPeiA-related documents in the register mentions any named safety or exposure standard, or describes any restricted area around the receiving site, anywhere in nearly 300 pages.

The claim as recorded

Across five primary documents in the register (two UK Frazer-Nash studies and one executive summary, the 2019 CASSIOPeiA paper and NASA OTPS 2024) (288 pages total: SRC-012, SRC-022, SRC-023, SRC-024, SRC-026), a full-text search finds zero occurrences of ICNIRP, IEEE C95, "exposure limit", "exposure guideline", "safety standard", "regulatory limit", "non-ionising", "exclusion zone", "keep-out", "restricted area" or "controlled area"; no exclusion-zone or SAR-compliance design of any kind is proposed anywhere in this material.

Scope and limits

Absence-of-evidence finding; a later or unread document could contain this design work. The register is not exhaustive of everything Space Solar has published.

What it assumes

No assumptions are recorded against this claim.
