elow 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. Structures housing dry and stabilized wastes should be designed to seismic criteria as defined in this SRP section and in SRP Sections 11.2, 11.3, and 12.3-12.4 and RG 1.143 for wastes produced during normal operation and AOOs. 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. All such releases must be controlled under the provisions of the ODCM or an equivalent program for standalone storage facilities. 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 a range of postulated accidents or design-basis event (as required) for the waste storage facility. Long-term waste storage in outdoor conditions should be justified in terms of its necessity and duration. 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 and snow/ice accumulations can be expected to cause external corrosion and possible degradation of container integrity resulting in premature failures and leaks. E. Licensees should establish maximum radioactive material inventory limits (in becquerels and curies) for all expected waste forms, based on the design of the storage area, dose limits for members of the public, radiation monitoring, required postings and markings, requirements for
