ners and facilities. (1) All dry or compacted radwaste should be located in restricted areas where effective material control and accountability can be maintained. While structures are not required to meet seismic criteria, protection should be afforded to insure the radioactivity is contained safely by use of good engineering judgement. (2) The waste container should be designed to insure radioactive material containment during normal and abnormal occurrences. The waste container materials should not support combustion. The packaged material should not cause fires through, spontaneous chemical reactions, retained heat, etc. (3) Containers should generally comply with the criteria of 10 CFR Part 71 and 49 CFR Part 170 to minimize the need for repackaging for shipment. 11. 4-A-5 Rev. 0 - July 1981
