ditional low-level waste disposal sites in the future under 10 CFR Part 61 or equivalent Agreement State regulations. III. GENERALLY APPLICABLE GUIDANCE 1. The quantity of radioactive material allowed and the shielding configurations will be dictated by the dose rate criteria for both the site boundary and unrestricted areas or site. The EPA limits, under 40 CFR Part 190, will restrict the annual doses from direct radiation and effluent releases from all sources within the uranium fuel cycle, and 10 CFR 20.1302 limits the exposure rates in unrestricted areas. Offsite doses from onsite storage must be sufficiently low to account for other uranium fuel cycle sources (e.g., an additional dose of less than or equal to 0.01 mSv (1 mrem) per year is not likely to exceed the dose limits of 10 CFR 20.1301 and 20.1302; effluent concentration limits of Table 2 and Note 4 of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 20; or 40 CFR Part 190 dose limits, as implemented under 10 CFR 20.1301(e). Onsite dose limits associated with temporary storage will be controlled per 10 CFR Part 20, including the ALARA principle of 10 CFR 20.1101. 11.4-51 Revision 4 – January 2016 2. Compatibility of the container materials with waste forms and with environmental conditions external to the containers is necessary to prevent significant container corrosion. Container selection should be based on data that demonstrate minimal corrosion from the anticipated internal and external environment for a period well in excess of the planned storage duration. Container integrity after the period of storage should be sufficient to allow handling during transportation and disposal without container breach due to the effects of internal corrosion and interactions of waste materials. Gas generation from organic materials in waste containers can also lead to container breach and potentially inflammable or explosive conditions. To minimize the number of potential problems, licensees should evaluate the potential for gas
