According to Ames, all mutagens are carcinogens. The UV sterilizers use UVC short wave but may not penetrate thick seed coats. Arabidopsis or orchid seeds are thin and lack opaque starches so the light may penetrate deeper. If you don't want to commit I could run some and show results.

It works for e.coli, though I feel like with a seed you'd not have
such luck as the penetration depth is probably pretty low. Google
Scholar it up!
