I apologize for being flip, but sunlight will do the job pretty well. Do you have some constraints on length of exposure and frequency/energy of the radiation, that could produce a more useful answer?

Best regards.

Radsafers,

Is there anyone out there who might know an approximate radiation level that would cause the degradation of plastic (i.e., plastic bags)?
