This may not be true to the original build, but just as a note with regard to efficiency, you could totally throw Area Affect: 2 Yard radius w/ Linked Emanation for +40% on the Radiation Beam Power, choose between that (doing 15d Radioactive Burning instead of 4d), the Cone effect, or a beam with the pre-existing Selectivity, and come out [17] points ahead. Just sayin'.

I don't know if Chris is still reading the forums... Hopefully he is and will respond.
