querels and curies) for all expected waste forms, based on the design of the storage area, dose limits for members of the public, radiation monitoring, required postings and markings, requirements for controlled access and material security, and safety features or protective measures described in the plant’s radiation protection program. F. Licensees should maintain inventory records by waste forms, radionuclides and types of radioactive materials, dates of storage, shipment, and other relevant data. Inventory records should be maintained and updated periodically as wastes are being accumulated, and be readily accessible in the event of an emergency in guiding first responders and for assessing potential radiological impacts. G. The facility design should incorporate provisions for a ventilation exhaust system (for storage areas) and an airborne radioactivity monitoring system (building exhaust vents) where there is a potential for airborne radioactivity to be generated or to accumulate. All such releases must be controlled under the 11.4-52 Draft Revision 4 –August 2014 provisions of the ODCM or an equivalent program for standalone storage facilities. IV. WET RADIOACTIVE WASTE STORAGE 1. Wet radioactive waste is defined as any liquid, liquid/solid slurry, sludge, resins, or other process concentrates. For storage considerations, wet waste is further defined as any waste that contains free liquid in amounts exceeding the requirements for burial as established by the NRC or a burial ground licensing authority. 2. The design of the facility’s supporting structure and tanks should prevent uncontrolled and unmonitored releases of radioactive materials resulting from spillage or accident conditions. Steel liners covering floors and lower portions of walls should be considered in rooms and cubicles where significant volumes of liquid and wet wastes are stored to ensure containment in the event of a major container failure or leak. 3. The following design objectives
