That’s how you get gamma ray resistant bacteria.

  Are there any resistant to gamma irradiation procedures today?

    Hydrothermal vent extremophiles are also very resistant to radiation.

      Thanks! I was able to find a very interesting article on that subject with those search terms. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38394859 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38394859

    While not directly on-topic, this article has many interesting links https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5137497/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5137497/ Also we don't really know that much of funghi, mosses, lichen & algae, and their symbiotic relations utilizing bacteria. All in all a rather undiscovered territory.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioresistance#Radioresistance_comparison https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioresistance#Radioresistanc... But hopefully the intersection between radio-resistant, antibiotic-resistant and dangerous-to-humans is empty.
