Irradiation can actually improve the physical characteristics
of some foods -- certain breads gain volume during irradiation,
and irradiate dehydrated vegetables reconstitute quicker than
those not irradiated.

Within a sealed chamber lies a machine capable of killing a person many
times over with radiation,
but is able to rid the human food supply of dangerous bacteria. That
machine is capable fo saving millions of lives every year by destroying
common food borne illness with low amounts of ionizing radiation.
