in GL No. 80-009, 81-038, and 81-039, and in SECY 94-198 and SECY 93-323. It should be noted that under SECY 94-198 and SECY 93-323, the provision requiring a 10 CFR Part 30 license for the storage of waste beyond 5 years has been eliminated. However, the balance of the technical information presented in GL No. 81-038 on the storage of low-level waste remains applicable for the purpose of this guidance. NRC and industry guidance provide further information on waste storage, including RIS 2004-17 (Revision 1), RIS 2008-32, and RIS 2011-09, and EPRI Report 1018644. The added storage capacity should typically consider the anticipated low-level waste volumes generated over the operational life of the plant, with wastes generated during decommissioning being addressed under separate NRC regulatory requirements and guidance. Licensees should determine the design storage capacity (volume and radioactive material inventories) from historical and projected waste generation rates for all units, considering both volume minimization/reduction programs and the need for surge capacity due to operations which may generate infrequent or unusually large amounts of waste, e.g., plant components (e.g., steam generators) and bulk quantities (e.g., spent charcoal) and describe the plans for the management and disposition of such wastes. In considering expanded storage capacity, licensees should consider the design and construction of additional volume reduction facilities (e.g., trash compactors, shredders, incinerators, etc.), as necessary, and then process wastes that may have been stored during their construction. Regional or State low-level waste compacts and unaffiliated States may establish new or additional low-level waste disposal sites in the future under 10 CFR Part 61 or equivalent Agreement State regulations. III. GENERALLY APPLICABLE GUIDANCE 1. The quantity of radioactive material allowed and the shielding configurations will be dictated by the dose rate criteria for both
