rials are minimal in the area. - (3) Provisions should be incorporated for collecting liquid drainage, including- provisions for sampling all collected liquids. Routing of the collected liquids should be to radwaste systems if contamination is detected, or to normal discharge pathways if the water ingress is from external sources (e.g., rain water or moisture) and remains uncontaminated. (4) Low level solidified waste stored in outside areas should be held securely by installed hold down systems. The hold down system should secure all containers during severe environmental conditions up to and including the design basis event for this waste storage facility. (5) Increased container handling and personnel exposure can be anticipated, consequently, all ALARA methodology should be incorporated per Regulatory Guides 8.8 and 8.10. (6) Container integrity should be assured against corrosion from the external environment; external weather protection should be included where necessary and practical. Storage containers should be raised off storage pads where water accumulation can be expected to cause external corrosion and possible degradation of container integrity. 11.4-A-2 Rev. 0 - July 1981 (7) Total curie and storage capacity limits should be established based on the design of the storage area and the safety features provided. The design capacity (ft3, Ci) should be based on historial waste generation rates for the specific facility, considering both volume minimization/reduction programs and the need for surge capacity due to operations which may generate unusually large amounts of waste. (8) Inventory records of waste types, contents, dates of storage, shipment, etc., should be maintained. 2. Wet Radioactive Waste Storage (a) Wet radioactive waste will be defined as any liquid or liquid/solid slurry. For storage considerations, wet waste is further defined as any waste which does not meet receiving burial site free liquid requirements for solidified or dewatered
