Peter,

I do not know, whether this information helps much, but I know for sure
that some years ago the IAEA had some social event (I was not present),
where irradiated shrimps were served. I know this for sure, because the
IAEA went through all official bureaucracy of Austria and obtained a
special permission to import the irradiated shrimps. Maybe you can get some
more information by contacting the IAEA, the website is as far as I
remember www.iaea.org.
