The distortion, warping, and the failure in service are reduced significantly during any heat treatment because the electron beam and plasma will cover uniform the entire workpiece during the process.

Arising from an IAEA coordinated research project, this publication reports on research to develop new tools in food irradiation and to rapidly ascertain treatment parameters before irradiation, ...

Most of the paper goes into detail about this, focusing on relativistic electron beams ... we can build materials to withstand that heat. The beam forming itself would occur behind a massive ...
