3. This provision does not address the management and storage of spent fuel. Licensees should describe the elements of an operational program addressing the processing, packaging, storage, inspection, radiation monitoring of such wastes and adjacent areas, posting and marking requirements, and access controls. The operational program should be consistent with all of the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20 for the handling of such wastes and control of personnel exposures in conformance with generally applicable guidance, as described earlier. 11.4-59 Revision 4 – January 2016 A. Structures that house Greater-Than-Class C wastes should be designed to seismic criteria as defined in this SRP section and SRP Sections 11.2, 11.3, and 12.3-12.4 and guidance of RG 1.143 for wastes produced during normal operation and AOOs. The design of waste containers should ensure integrity and durable containment of the radioactivity during normal and a range of expected abnormal conditions. The waste container materials should not support combustion, e.g., containers made of wood, fiberboard, or plasticized cardboard materials are not acceptable. The packaged material should not cause fires through spontaneous chemical exothermic reactions, retained heat, or generation of explosive gas mixtures. B. Containers should comply with the applicable criteria of 10 CFR Part 71 and 49 CFR Parts 171-180 to minimize the need for repackaging for future shipments. C. Increased container handling and personnel exposure should be anticipated; consequently, licensees should incorporate all applicable ALARA provisions described in RGs 8.8 and 8.10. D. Facility design should provide for a ventilation exhaust system (for storage areas) 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
