RE: food irradiation

[Robert_A_Jones@RL.gov]

This article implies that ionizing radiation makes anything it interacts
with radioactive - and associates radioactivity with uranium and plutonium
(the most feared of all elements).

I thought this anti food irradiation article may be of interest to the
group.  Especially interesting is the claim that food irradiation is
keeping the "dangerous nuclear industry alive."   This is the first anti
nuclear article I have found on this environmental news service in over
the year I have subscribed to it.

My own thoughts and not necessarily those of my employer.
