Default radiotelescope and sterility...

Hi,

We know that during the emission of a radiotelescope (rare, for tests or to
send SETI msg, Hi!), the radiation can sterilize people working in the dish.
Has someone some idea of the power require to produce such a effect or any
generic graph (from IEEE standards ?) showing the risk vs frequency or
emitting power ? I have one,

to get a better idea of the power require (in W, Jy, etc).
If I had an idea of the require dBi and W , I could compute the EIRP and all
concerned values.

Thanks in advance
