Irradiation is nuclear radiation... At least that is what I was 
taught in school ;)

As Marvin said:

> and is becoming a large PR issue that needn't be.

It will .... and the proponents will look like fools, and the public 
will be even more defensive when it comes to nuclear related issues 
.. with total disbelief in anyone who speaks out in favor of such 
nuclear related activities.
