des assurance that the operation of the SWMS and development of the PCP with regard to packaging, preparation for shipment, qualification of the packaging material, testing of the package, exemptions, quality control and procedures, and transportation of licensed radioactive materials will not result in an undue risk to the public. 10. BTP 11-3 presents guidance on SWMS design and operation, addressing process parameters, waste stabilization or dewatering, waste form properties, free liquid detection, QA, waste storage, and portable solid waste systems. The BTP focuses primarily on wet and liquid wastes for the purpose of ensuring complete stabilization and dewatering. For dry wastes, it emphasizes the use of waste volume reduction technologies for minimizing the amounts of wastes shipped to land disposal facilities. GL No. 80-009, 81-038, and 81-039, RIS 2004-17, 2008-32, and 2011-09, and EPRI Report 1018644 provide further guidance. Meeting the guidance of BTP 11-3 provides reasonable assurance that the SWMS, as implemented under the PCP, includes necessary equipment, processes, and procedures to satisfactorily process, monitor, store for decay; and addresses storage needs for radioactive wastes before shipment to offsite disposal facilities or waste processors for further processing. Appendix 11.4-A addresses the long-term storage of wet, stabilized, and dry solid wastes. Appendix 11.4-A provides guidance for considering onsite low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) storage capabilities for periods that may last several years but significantly less than the life of the plant. The guidance emphasizes safety considerations in the storing, handling, and eventual disposition of radioactive wastes under 10 CFR Part 61 or equivalent State regulations. GL No. 80-009, 81-038, and 81-039, and SECY 94-198 and 93-323, RIS 2004-17, 2008-32, and 2011-09, and EPRI Report 1018644 contain further guidance. Meeting the guidance of Appendix 11.4-A provides reasonable assurance that
