PIU LLOYP Research Continued from page 1A discovered that electron beams could be used on beef to kill bac teria such as E. Coli without banning the meat. “Irradiation just means ‘rays of energy’ and is actually quite safe,” Vestal said, hoping to dis pel the negative connotation of irradiation. “Everyone just asso ciates it with nuclear energy.” Currently, irradiation is used on beef, pork, poultry, cereal grains, spices and pota toes. Irradiation use on fish, shellfish and ready-to-eat deli foods has not yet been approved. The use of this technology on meat adds 10 to 25 cents to the price of a pound of meat, but Vestal said the added cost is worth it if it can save even one life. Electron beam research is also being tested to kill insects on fruits and vegetables to pre vent the spread of harmful pests around the world. It was used to help kill anthrax being sent through the mail in 2001. Vestal explained that research will be done on mak ing oysters safer, as well as try ing to extend the shelf-life of fish, strawberries, mushrooms and even cut flowers. “This is an extremely unique technology with many, many useful purposes,” Vestal said. “We will be able to do many great things with it in the future.” Bush Continued from page 1A when he stood on the deck of the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln and declared an end to major com bat operations. Since then, more Americans have died in Iraq than were killed during the war. The overall death count is 287 149 since May 1. Bush described Iraq as the cen tral front in the war against terror and said that “enemies of freedom are making a desperate stand there, and there they must be defeated. “This will take time and require sacrifice,” he said. “Yet we will do what is necessary, we will spend what is necessary, to achieve this essential victory in the war on terror, to promote freedom and to make our own nation more secure. ” percent from the adniinistj budget and a total of 5.4 cent from the colleger libraries.
