Radwaste and Decontamination Areas Fire barriers, automatic fire suppression and detection, and ventilation controls should be provided. o. Safety-Related Water Tanks Storage tanks that supply water for safe shutdown should be protected from the effects of an exposure fire. Combustible materials should not be stored next to outdoor tanks. DRAFT Rev. 4 - April 1996 9.5.1-60 p.
