Are there any resistant to gamma irradiation procedures today?

While not directly on-topic, this article has many interesting links 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.

But hopefully the intersection between radio-resistant, antibiotic-resistant and dangerous-to-humans is empty.

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.
