Leading Czech scientists say US radar could emit harmful rays

A report written by leading Czech scientists suggests that the radar base the US would like to see built on Czech soil could emit harmful rays. In the report, Petr Pokorný from the Czech Academy of Sciences and military analyst Stanislav Kaucký refute the government’s claims that the radar base would be absolutely safe. The report suggests that the rays emitted by the base could pose a threat to those traveling in airplanes overhead, and that there should be a 50-kilometer no-fly zone surrounding the radar. The government has already outlined a no-fly zone around the base, which the scientists call ‘dangerously’ small. The Defence Ministry has reacted to the report by saying that it disagrees with the study’s findings.
