10kW? That sounds like a lot of energy to dump into air. Certainly unhealthy for operators or people near the tx site.

Less than the typical TV or FM broadcast tower, and remember there's a lot of empty space around the launch sites. Even ham radio operators in the US can run at 1.5kW peak.

You can get up to 30 kW (pulsed) on a MRI all directed at your body.
