the first EPROM devices were intended to be erased using X-rays, but ultraviolet light turned out to be a more practical method (X-rays can damage chips).

The ability to erase before packaging allows for complete testing of the memory chip prior to shipment, which is a distinct advantage over once-programmable ROMs. Erasure of information in packaged devices by placing them in a commercially available X-ray generator allows for correction of programming errors as well as unpredictable future pattern modifications.",
