There are three irradiation technologies that rely on three kinds of rays. About 40 countries use the technology, and many organizations.
Irradiation preserves food by destroying microbes just as heat does in the canning process. In both processes, the food must have been first sealed in a container e.g., a can, jar, or pouch.
One method of preservating food is by irradiation.
irradiation
Yes, it is safe in controlled conditions.
Advantages Can be used to destroy or inactivate organisms that cause spoilage and decomposition Foods that are sterilized by irradiation can be stored without refrigeration for years Offers an alternative to chemicals for use with grains, potatoes, citrus and tropical fruits, seasonings, and spices

Typically, dehydration and irradiation. The causes of most food spoilage is the growth of bacteria in the moist environment of the food. Irradiation can kill all the bacteria, so as long as the package is sealed, no bacteria can grow there. And dehydration removes most of the water from the food so that it takes up less space and weight, and stays edible for longer times.
no. I've heard from a bunch of sources even one who does it and thae said no.
