Content:
ld develop and implement procedures for early detection, prevention, and mitigation of accidents (e.g., fires from combustible materials and explosive gas mixtures). Storage areas and facility designs should incorporate good engineering features and capabilities for handling accidents and provide safeguard systems, such as fire detection and suppression systems (e.g., smoke detectors and sprinklers) using the guidance in RG 1.189 and 1.205, as described earlier. If water sprinkler systems are used, floors should be sloped to drain into local floor sumps or curbed to prevent water runoff to uncontrolled areas and avoid unmonitored releases using the guidance in RGs 1.143 and 4.21. Licensees should establish personnel training and administrative procedures to ensure both control of radioactive materials and minimize personnel exposures. Fire suppression devices may not be necessary if combustible materials in the area are minimal, based on the results of a fire hazards and protection analysis. The guidance provides reasonable assurance that radioactive materials are protected from the effects of fires and that the function of plant systems and components will not be compromised in meeting 11.4-57 Revision 4 – January 2016 effluent discharge concentration limits of 10 CFR Part 20 associated with releases of contaminated fire protection water and combustion gases and smoke. E. The facility design should incorporate provisions for a ventilation exhaust system (for storage areas and venting of equipment) 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 provisions of the ODCM or an equivalent program for standalone storage facilities. F. Licensees should maintain inventory records by waste forms, radionuclides and radioactive material, dates of storage, shipment, and other relevant data. Inventory records should be
