And I'll tell you why.
You go, well, why?
I mean, these microwaves, ovens and stuff.
We happen to use frequencies that are so low, they're close to kind of RF.
They're still microwave.
They're considered microwave.
But they're almost in the RF, or radio frequency, band of waves.
And those waves pass harmlessly through us.
Those are the kind of radio towers and stuff like that, the very, very long wavelength.
very, very low frequency waves.
Those frequencies are not harmful to humans.
They just pass right through us and pass right through biologics, not harmful to plants, not harmful to birds.
We are a little bit above that, but not much.
So we do have to be somewhat safety conscious.
We have to do HERO, HERP, HERF, these different hazardous electromagnetic radiation for personnel.
There's these limits that are very, very tight and
very tightly controlled, we have to be below those by measure, but it's not hard for us to be below them.
We're well below them, and you can stand very close to the machine and not have any sort of effects whatsoever.
Exactly.
So even if you do radiate, it might be 20 seconds or 10 seconds of radiation, then it's off again.
