Hey there all.

Does anyone know if there is a facility here in California where one can get their supers irradiated?

There's one in Utah, but it uses cobalt and may be harder on the equipment than electron beam. The electron beam uses small particles, and thus can make numerous trips thru the facility over the years without getting spongey.

You could search the web and look for similar pages to Iotron's.
