Content:
Federal, State, and local regulations governing any other toxic or hazardous properties of radioactive wastes (such as mixed wastes characterized by the presence of hazardous chemicals and radioactive materials). For purposes of this technical position, the major emphasis will be on safety considerations for storing, handling, and eventual disposition of radioactive wastes. Design and operational acceptability will be based on specific requirements, which are defined in existing SRP sections, regulatory guides, and industry standards for the proper management of radioactive wastes. Considerations for waste minimization and volume reduction will also need to be part of an overall site waste management plan and evaluation of various onsite storage alternatives. Licensees and applicants should implement additional waste management considerations for ALARA, decontamination, and decommissioning of the temporary storage facility, including disposal, as 11.4-48 Draft Revision 4 –August 2014 early as possible, because future requirements for waste forms and packaging may make wastes stored under current requirements unacceptable for final disposition. Facility design and operation should assure that radiological consequences of postulated accidents or AOO events (e.g., fire, tornado, seismic occurrence, and flood) do not exceed acceptance criteria, as defined in RG 1.143 given the requirements of GDC 2 and GDC 61. For plants currently licensed under 10 CFR Part 50, the facility design and operation should assure that radiological consequences of design basis events (e.g., fire, tornado, seismic occurrence, and flood) do not exceed a small fraction (10 percent) of 10 CFR Part 100 dose limits (i.e., no more than a few sieverts whole body dose). Further guidance is provided in GL No. 80-009, 81-038, and 81-039, and in SECY 94-198 and SECY 93-323. It should be noted that under SECY 94-198 and SECY 93-323, the provision requiring a 10 CFR Part 30 license for the storage of
