CLM-1287 In 1978 a draft plan for the US satellite power programme proposed that every lab test rats the same way, at fixed microwave levels from far below to just above the beam-centre level of the later reference design, for at least four hours a day, and later for 23 hours a day.
CLM-1288 The 1978 draft plan said long-term low-level studies would decide whether the satellite was safe for the public, but that in the two to three years available most effort would go to checking earlier alarming reports, with three-fifths of the money on health.
CLM-1289 The 1978 plan aimed to find, by stepping the dose up or down, the lowest microwave level that changed anything in mice, rabbits, birds and plants, and to use the rabbit result to inform human safety standards.
