Procedures are described for the safe processing of multicurie quantities of irradiated red phosphorus into isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate (sarin) having a specific activity of 256 to 300 mc/g. The use of costly remote handling equipment is an-added by suitable choice of synthetic route and apparatus design. (auth)
