RADIATION HAZARD STUDY Satellite Education Network Western Illinois University Page 1 of 5 The satellite facilities at Western Illinois University are mounted on the southwest corner of Memorial Hall in Macomb, Il. The building is a 5 story building. Four of the five stories are used for offices, television studios, and classrooms. The uplink dishes are on the roof of the fourth floor. The fifth floor is to the east / northeast of the uplink dishes. The walls of the fifth floor is concrete block, brick and steel skin construction. The roof area that the uplink dishes are on is a controlled access area. Access is not available to anyone except maintenance workers. All equipment that would be accessed by these workers is on the east side of the fifth floor structure. The 6.1 meter Vertex dish is mounted on the Southwest corner of the building. Because of the location of the support steel, the reflector is flush and/or overhangs the edge of the roof. The edge of the reflector is 3 meters above the roof. The 2.4 meter Vertex dish is approximately 10 meters behind the 6.1 meter dish. It is a fixed dish that is positioned on Galaxy 10R at 123 degrees west. The reflector is accessible from the roof as it is 2 meters from the roof.

Conclusion: Based on the above analysis, it is concluded that harmful levels of radiation will not exist in the regions normally occupied by the public or employees of the university. The earth station will be marked with standard radiation hazard warning signs that will described where the potential may exist for hazardous radiation levels. To ensure compliance with the safety limits, the earth station transmitter will be turned off whenever maintenance and repair personnel are required to work in the area where the radiation level exceeds the level recommended by applicable guidelines. The earth station is a secured location with controlled access.
