Well, Janet, I had an interesting conversation with James Clouser of Sterigenics. He answered more questions that I had emailed. I felt it was gracious of him to call me on the telephone in response to email questions. 1) He does see the possiblity of irradiation of red meat in the near future by the FDA. Perhaps this year. 2) The so called Ozone treatment by Cyclopss (sp) would not be effective on hamburger as it is a surface treatment. He had not heard of the wave of enthusiasm from the OZON board. Irradiation of hamburger is the most effective to kill micro organisms. 3) Irradiation does not alter the taste or texture of food. The astronauts always eat irradiated food. Educating the public is important. Remember microwaves, and cell phones. 4) They are regulated by the FA, and the Nuclear Reg Comm. This is sometimes done on the state level. 5) He explained the physical process of how irradiation works. This had seemed like a huge undertaking to me, he made it sound simpler than I had expected. I found him to be open, informed , and intelligent with a sense of humor. I am glad he is the CEO. JK
