1. A container comprising:

  • a body defining an interior area, wherein at least a portion of an interior surface of the body is formed of an ultraviolet reflective material;

    at least one object having a surface targeted for treatment contained within the interior area;

    a movable ultraviolet source, wherein the movable ultraviolet source emits a beam of ultraviolet radiation having a characteristic cross-sectional area smaller than an area of the surface in each direction, wherein the movable ultraviolet source includes;

    an ultraviolet light source configured to emit ultraviolet light; and

    an ultraviolet transparent light guiding structure configured to redirect at least a portion of the ultraviolet light emitted from the ultraviolet light source to form the beam of ultraviolet radiation; and

    means for moving the movable ultraviolet source to irradiate any portion of the surface with radiation within the characteristic cross-sectional area of the beam of ultraviolet radiation.
