Botulism
Contrary to what has
been said by more than one person, Clostridium botulinum (and perfringens)
toxins are heat labile, i.e., denatured by cooking.
Staphlococcus aureus
toxin, however, is heat stable and will survive cooking. You won't die,
just wish you could.
The point is, will
toxins be denatured by radioactivity? I doubt it.
