Irradiation in a sentence as a noun

One possibility is to look for evidence of neutron irradiation in rock layers that were exposed at the time.

[0] Overwhelming number of insects that have been rendered sterile by irradiation are released into the wild.

* The other is a scientific question: Is irradiation a safe and effective food sanitizing method?Guess which one has dozens and dozens of studies to back it up?

There's enormous value in having 60 years of data on the neutron irradiation properties and mechanical failure modes of a material.

> no synthetic fertilizers, irradiation, sewage sludge or genetic engineering was usedNever mind that each of those things have greatly different effects on the safety of the food and other things:> no synthetic fertilizersA valid environmental concern, depending on how the fertilizers are used and where the runoff goes.> irradiationFear-mongering nonsense.
