I can only imagine that the gammas and X-rays are a major achilles heal for any plans to sell on the mass market. Perhaps those countries that best prevent vested interests from mounting a legal attack along these lines will advance the most quickly in developing a manufacturing base. A mitigating factor here is that the devices are something that you can get working in your garage, at least at a basic level. Manufacturing is as global as it gets, so you could design a device and then perhaps have it manufactured in the Seychelles, or in Brazil, possibly providing a way around legal campaigns that pay lip service to the public good but couldn't have it further from mind.
