Christine, Well, I asked my aunt about food irradiation in Europe. She's in the French equivalent of the National Academy of Sciences, and working on multi-disciplinary risk assessment issues relating to technology, but she is unaware of any food irradiation being done in France, or being proposed. From what she told me, it seems that the French populace has an even stronger radiophobia than Americans. For example, the cleanup standard for radiation in France is Minimum Detectable. Since radiation detection equipment is constantly being improved, this means that the standard for acceptable radiation exposure is always becoming made more stringent. But, despite this strong public aversion, France gets 80% of its electricity from nuclear power, leading the world. Japan is next, with approximately 60% nuclear power. David
