I was an X-Ray tech and believe me, radar is dangerous long term.
More mis-information! Radar is NOT X-ray. X-ray is way higher in frequency (30 petahertz to 30 exahertz (30×10 to the power of 15 to 30×10 to the power of 18)) and is ionizing radiation. Marine radar is non-ionizing radiation and operates in the X band (8-12 Gigahertz).
