Narrative:
Jepp pro has an area from ckh to phnl which shows under a jepp pro note of a radiation warning existing 2800 ft above antenna systems. 'Aircraft flying within this airspace will be exposed to direct radiation which may produce harmful effects.' this is the arrival area and corridor for landing phnl landing east. Can I get an interpretation of this warning area as to the meaning of the radiation note and also from medical as to exposure level and mitigation for our flights to hnl through that area?
