electromagnetic radiation hazards (RADHAZ or EMR hazards)
Hazards caused by a transmitter/antenna installation that generates electromagnetic radiation in the vicinity of ordnance, personnel, or fueling operations in excess of established safe levels or increases the existing levels to a hazardous level; or a personnel, fueling, or ordnance installation located in an area that is illuminated by electromagnetic radiation at a level that is hazardous to the planned operations or occupancy. These hazards will exist when an electromagnetic field of sufficient intensity is generated to:
(a) Induce or otherwise couple currents and/or voltages of magnitudes large enough to initiate electro-explosive devices or other sensitive explosive components of weapon systems, ordnance, or explosive devices.
(b) Cause harmful or injurious effects to humans and wildlife.
(c) Create sparks having sufficient magnitude to ignite flammable mixtures of materials that must be handled in the affected area. [JP 1-02]
