Electron-beam processing or electron irradiation (EBI)

• From Wiki: "Nanotechnology is one of the fastest-growing new areas in science and engineering. Radiation is early applied tool in this area; arrangement of atoms and ions has been performed using ion or electron beams for many years. New applications concern nanocluster and nanocomposites synthesis" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron-beam_processing

So EBI is considered "new" and "fastest-growing" area. But John Trump advocated to use this in 1978. The same John Trump who lost his father at an early age to the spanish flu pandemic in 1917 - 1918.

Did John Trump know by 1978 how to eradicate viruses from blood plasma? The interviewer asks Mr. Trump about the Inactivation of viruses in blood plasma using electrons. John Trump answers using hepatitis as an example on the ability of electrons to inactivate or destroy hepatitis in blood plasma.

40:00 minute mark:

"Unfortunately by the time we had became clear of 2 things. One is, that we could take blood plasma from a patient with hepatitis at the highest stage of infectivity and knock out the hepatitis and the other thing was that if we did this under the proper condition that is with the plasma frozen we would not materially adversely affect its albumin or other contents, the lipoproteins and various fractions in the plasma. Unfortunately we were not able to persuade anybody to try this. That is to do the critical experiment which would involve human volunteers for the reason they did have some casualties among volunteers when they had tried materials that had been inadequately disinfected or inactivated. "

WHO ignores this option for viral inactivation for human blood plasma products. Is this by design? – 2004 WHO Technical Report on Guidelines– on viral inactivation and removal procedures intended to assure the viral safety of human blood plasma products. https://www.who.int/bloodproducts/publications/WHO_TRS_924_A4.pdf
