Type of Non-Ionizing Radiation

Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with wavelengths ranging from as long as one meter to as short as one millimeter, or equivalently, with frequencies between 300 MHz (0.3 GHz) and 300 GHz.

On the Moon

If there is no nuclear fission power, microwaves on the moon would represents the first source of heating for sintering, casting and melting materials.

The exportation of electricity to the Earth would be also via Microwaves.
