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. Generic Letter Nos. 80-009, 81-038, and 81-039, and SECY 94-198 and SECY 93-323 contain further guidance. Meeting the guidelines of Appendix 11.4-A provides a level of assurance that the SWMS, as implemented under the PCP, will meet the associated requirements of the NRC’s regulations (10 CFR Part 20 and 10 CFR Part 71) and DOT shipping regulations (49 CFR Parts 171–180) to ensure that container breaches will not occur during interim storage periods, or minimize the chance of such occurrences, and to preclude or reduce the likelihood of uncontrolled and unmonitored releases of radioactive wastes and materials from processing, handling, transportation, and storage accidents. 11. 10 CFR 20.1406 requires that applicants describe how facility design and procedures for operation will minimize, to the extent practicable, contamination of the facility and the environment; facilitate eventual decommissioning; and minimize, to the extent practicable, the generation of radioactive waste. Regulatory Guide 1.143 presents criteria for SSCs outside containment that contain radioactive wastes produced during normal operation and anticipated operational occurrences.. Specific guidance to meet the 10 CFR 20.1406 requirements is listed below: A. SWMS processing systems (either as permanently installed systems or in combination with mobile equipment) with a potential for leakage shall provide means to control and contain this leakage to prevent contamination of building floors and interconnected systems (e.g., curbing, floor sloping to local drains, floor-to-floor seals over floor expansion joints, wall-to-floor joint seals, sheathed hoses, drip pans or containment boxes, backflow preventers, siphon breakers, self-sealing quick-disconnects, and operational interlocks).
