itigation and control procedures and their ability to protect the facility from design basis events (e.g., fire, flooding, tornadoes) unless otherwise justified. 4. The following design objectives and criteria are applicable to stabilized waste storage containers and facilities: A. All stabilized radwaste should be located in restricted areas where effective material control and accountability can be maintained. While structures are not required to meet seismic criteria, licensees should employ good engineering judgment to ensure that radioactive materials are contained safely, such as by the use of curbs and drains to contain spills of dewatered resins or sludge. B. If liquids exist in a corrosive form, licensees should implement proven measures to protect the container (i.e., special liners or coatings) and/or neutralize the excess liquids. If deemed appropriate and necessary, highly noncorrosive materials (e.g., stainless steel) should be used. Potential corrosion between the solid waste forms and the container should also be considered. In the case of dewatered resins, highly corrosive acids and bases can be generated, which will significantly reduce the longevity of the container. The PCP should implement 11.4-30 Revision 3 - March 2007 steps to assure the above does not occur; provisions should be made to govern container material selection and precoating to ensure that container breach does not occur during temporary storage periods. C. There should be provisions for additional reprocessing or repackaging in the event of container failure and/or as required by DOT regulations and license disposal facility criteria for final transportation and disposal. Licensees should develop contamination isolation and decontamination capabilities. When significant handling and personnel exposure can be anticipated, licensees should incorporate ALARA methodology in accordance with Regulatory Guides 8.8 and 8.10. D. Licensees should develop and implement procedures for early
