ace contamination monitoring to ensure that levels are below limits specified in 10 CFR 20.1301 and 10 CFR 20.1302, 10 CFR Part 71, and Subpart I (Class 7) of 49 CFR Part 173. All containers should be decontaminated to these or lower levels before storage. B. Licensees should incorporate provisions 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 and remains uncontaminated by plant-generated radioactivity. C. Waste stored in outside areas should be held securely by installed holddown systems. The holddown system should secure all containers during severe environmental conditions, up to and including the design-basis event for the waste storage facility. 11.4-28 Revision 3 - March 2007 D. Licensees should assure container integrity against corrosion from the external environment, including external weather protection 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. E. Licensees should establish total radioactive material inventory limits (in becquerels and curies), based on the design of the storage area, dose limits for members of the public, and safety features or measures being provided (e.g., radiation monitoring). F. Licensees should maintain inventory records by waste types, waste contents, radionuclides and radioactive material, dates of storage, shipment, and other relevant data. G. The facility design should incorporate provisions 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.
