A packinghouse or shipping point was selected as the most appropriate location for 
radiation processing, and except for strawberries, a small stationary radiation facility 
for each handler was thought to be the best for processing the selected commodities. For 
strawberries, a large centrally located facility and a mobile facility were each reported 
by one-third of the respondents as the most appropriate facility. Only one-sixth of the 
respondents handling strawberries thought a small stationary facility was needed. 
Most respondents thought only minor changes in present methods of handling produce 
would be required to accommodate radiation processing. However, about half of the few 
who preferred a large, centrally located facility thought substantial changes in present 
handling methods would be required.
