I IONIZING RADIATION 273 DEVELOPMENT NEEDS Radiation devices that can emit high-energy ionizing radiation at high dose rates may need to be developed. This is needed to fully destroy the agents in their containers in a reasonable amount of time. Remote handling and sampling become secondary development criteria. Finally, the contents of the irradiated containers should be non hazardous and be able to be transported or otherwise destroyed on site. This final destruction would need to be experimentally verified because the composition of the products may be different from that obtained from other methods of destruction.
