g normal operation and AOOs. All dry or compacted radwaste should be located in restricted areas where effective material control and accountability can be maintained. While structures may be required to meet specific seismic criteria, licensees should use good engineering judgment to ensure the radioactive material is contained safely. B. There should be provisions made for additional reprocessing or repackaging in the event of container failures and as required by DOT shipping regulations and license disposal facility criteria for final transportation and disposal or long-term storage. Licensees should designate isolated staging areas used for decontamination activities and provide methods and equipment for decontamination. When significant handling and personnel exposures are 11.4-58 Revision 4 – January 2016 anticipated, licensees should incorporate ALARA methodology described in RGs 8.8 and 8.10. C. Licensees should develop and implement procedures for early detection, prevention, and mitigation of accidents (e.g., fires from combustible materials). 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 of RGs 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, and steel liners should be used 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
