1. A system comprising:

  • a plurality of layers forming a storage area configured to contain a set of items, wherein the plurality of layers include an outer ultraviolet reflective layer, an inner ultraviolet transparent layer, and a layer located between the outer ultraviolet reflective layer and the inner ultraviolet transparent layer, wherein a refractive index of the layer located between the outer ultraviolet reflective layer and the inner ultraviolet transparent layer is lower than a refractive index of the inner ultraviolet transparent layer;

    a set of ultraviolet radiation sources configured to generate ultraviolet radiation directed at the set of items within the storage area; and

    a monitoring and control system configured to;

    monitor a set of current conditions of at least one of;

    the storage area or the set of items located in the storage area; and

    control the ultraviolet radiation generated by the set of ultraviolet radiation sources using the set of current conditions and a target effect for the set of items by adjusting at least one of;

    an intensity, a wavelength, a temporal distribution, or a spatial distribution of the ultraviolet radiation.
