Irradiation Facilities
Food irradiation facilities, which use gamma rays, x-rays, or electron
beams to irradiate food, are not exactly a desirable neighbor. Numerous
communities have been blindsided by company plans to construct food
irradiation facilities, and have vigorously fought their construction.
While Milford Township, PA residents lost their battle to stop CFC
Logistics food irradiation facility from being built, they won the war
when it closed down due to lack of demand for irradiated food last
year.
Residents oppose having these potentially dangerous
facilities, many of which use radioactive material- in their
neighborhood, citing poor security, contamination risks, and potential
for accidents.
