note that gamma could be used to sterilized. it does not cause contamination, but anyway the fear of "atomic" restrict it's use where perfect sterilizarion without heating is important, like for some sterile liquids and bottle (eye fluid...)
it could be used to prevent potatoes to germ, but we rather use chemical to avoid "atomic" fear. 2012/3/13 Jouni Valkonen <[email protected]> > Rather good joke, indeed.
