A biological and chemical decontamination device that includes at least one planar x ray source, an irradiation chamber that receive the x rays, and at least one access port on the irradiation chamber through which port articles can enter the irradiation chamber is described. The planar x-ray source includes a planar field emission cathode having a plurality of nanotubes, an electron target for receiving electrons from the cathode, and an applied voltage that accelerates electrons from the cathode to the target. The cathode can be formed into a variety of shapes as needed for specific applications.
