o alarm potential overflow conditions. 5. All potential release pathways of radionuclides (e.g., evolved gases, breach of container, etc.) shall be controlled, if feasible, and monitored as per 10 CFR 50, Appendix A (General Design Criteria 60 and 64). Surveillance programs should incorporate adequate methods for monitoring breach of container integrity or accidental releases. 6. All temporarily stored wet waste will require additional reprocessing prior to shipment offsite; therefore, provisions should be established to integrate the required treatment with the waste processing and solidification systems. The interface and associated systems should be designed and tested in accordance with the codes and standards described in Standard Review Plan Section 11. V. Solidified Radioactive Waste Storage (a) Solidified radwaste for storage purposes shall be defined as that waste which meets solidified waste criteria for licensed facilities. For purposes of this document, resins or filter sludges dewatered to the above criteria will be defined under this waste classification/criteria. (b) Any storage plans should address container protection as well as any reprocessing requirements for eventual shipment and burial. DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 11.4-26 (c) Casks, tanks, and liners containing solidified radioactive waste should be designed with good engineering judgment to preclude or reduce the probability of occurrence of uncontrolled releases of radioactive materials due to handling, transportation or storage. Accident mitigation and control for design basis events (e.g., fire, flooding, tornadoes, etc.) must be evaluated and protected against unless otherwise justified. (d) The following design objectives and criteria are applicable for solidified waste storage containers and facilities: 1. All solidified radwaste should be located in restricted areas where effective material control and accountability can be maintained. While structures are not required to meet seismic
