Plastic and radiation damage



Does anyone out there know if plastic is subject to any structural
decomposition as a reults of being exposed to moderate exposure rate
fields?  For instance, a plastic container being used to hold several
gallons of liquid containing beta-gamma emitters at concentrations up to 1
Ci/L (thats 37 GBq/L for our European friends).
