Abstract:

The purpose of this report is to evaluate the effects of large pulse fields, such as will be produced by the Siege 1.2 and Siege II generators on personnel in the vicinity of the Siege array. A survey of available literature on biological effects of electromagnetic radiation has been made and is summarized. In addition, the voltages and currents induced in an average-size man are computed and presented.
