I could not find any material compatibility/reactability tables or charts depicting poly-carbonate plastic compatibility with UV light. Any docs are appreciated.
Thank you.

Nope. I can attest that IR cameras do not see through polycarbonate or most other glass and plastic.
This is annoying for power supply design where I want to measure the temp of something that I’m afraid may explode.
EDIT: Sorry, whoops you're asking about UV. I can't speak to that with any experience.
My only experience is with Polycarbonate sheeting in direct Sunlight. I have some here which has been exposed to the elements for more than 10 years and is as good as new. New sheeting just obtained has a 10 year guarantee in direct sunlight. Maybe not the UV source you were thinking of but it does seem quite stable in 'near visible' UV light. I can't confirm it degrades in <180nM wavelengths but sources at such high frequency are fairly rare in normal circumstances.
Brian.
Is there a particular reason that you need to use plastic. Maybe something like Pyrex glass tubes would work.
careful handling of the diamond powdered bit as I would have to drill into the glass...
