nd Films” (Ref. 29), provides additional guidance. d. Combustible waste materials that are radioactively contaminated or that present a fire risk to radioactive material should be handled, packaged, and stored in a manner that minimizes the threat of fire. Such waste materials should be protected by an active fire suppression system or fire barriers or by limiting quantities. e. Oil-soaked rags, which are susceptible to spontaneous combustion as the oil oxidizes, release heat. If the heat is not dissipated, it can build up and ignite the rags. Oil-soaked rags should be stored in a listed disposal container and should be removed daily from areas containing radioactive materials or contamination. DG-1370, Page 14 f. Good housekeeping practices should be maintained, with particular attention to areas containing radioactive materials or contaminated waste and equipment. Accumulations of combustible material, including waste and debris, should be removed from the work location at the end of each shift. Spills of combustible or flammable liquids should be contained and cleaned up immediately, with appropriate consideration for the safety of personnel. The cleaning materials and waste should be removed from the area daily and disposed of appropriately. General housekeeping practices should be implemented to remove trash and clutter and to maintain clear access and egress routes throughout the plant. 3.4.2 Storage of Flammable and Combustible Liquids and Gases Flammable and combustible liquids and flammable compressed gases should be stored where they do not present a fire risk to areas containing radioactive materials, contamination, or SSCs important to the prevention or mitigation of radioactive material releases. Refer to NFPA 30 and NFPA 55 for additional information and guidance. Smoking and working with open flame should not be permitted in any plant area, including areas used for the storage of flammable and combustible liquids or compressed gases. 3.5 Control of
