nuclear disaster areas as rectenna sites

I just posted this article at http://www.lunarpedia.org/index.php?
title=Rectenna

I thought y'all might find it interesting.

Rectenna is a "Receiving Antenna" which converts RF radiation into
electrical power.

They would be a fundamental component of Solar Power Satellite
systems.

The SPS rectenna can sited almost anywhere, but although the
microwave radiation at low levels is harmless, public fear of
microwave radiation exposure might cause them to be sited in remote
areas.

One interesting site might be the Chernobyl Zone of Alienation, an
uninhabited radioactive area surrounding the Chernobyl nuclear
reactor in the Ukraine which sprayed lethal radiation over a large
area in 1986.

This is zone is patrolled by the Ukrainian state security service to
make sure that no unauthorized people enter, getting entry permits is
possible but difficult. Yet the area is close to large population
centers, and large industrial consumers of electric power. Also, it
was a major hub for electricity distribution, from the reactor. So
infrastructure already exists to connect a rectenna directly to the
Ukranian power gird.

The central hot zone has a radius of 30 kilometres, which is large
enough to accommodate several SPS rectennas, with potential for tens
of gigawatts of power delivery.

Other sites:

There are other sites of nuclear tests and disasters which might be
suitable. For example, Kazakhstan had some nuclear test sites, also
in Nevada USA. A big Soviet nuclear waste dump in the Urals exploded
in the 1960s, that is another large exclusion zone.

September 29, 1957: At Kyshtym in the Soviet Urals. Kyshtym is near
the Chelyabinsk-40 nuclear complex, also known as "Mayak" ("beacon"
in Russian), where on 29th September, 1957, a violent explosion
involving dry nitrate and acetate salts in a waste tank containing
highly radioactive waste, contaminated an area later called
the "Kyshtym footprint". The explosion resulted from a failure of the
cooling system of the tank[1]. About 800 km of land were taken out
of use, and 82% of this area has now been taken into use again for
forestry and farming
