ropriate fire protection reviews. Procedures that describe necessary actions in response to a fire in the radioactive waste storage and accumulation areas should be developed. For example, ventilation systems and any other building openings, such as access doors, should be configured to confine and minimize the potential for a release Appendix A to DG-1370, Page A-4 of radioactive materials to the environment. The waste storage area layout and the availability of standpipes (i.e., to avoid hose lays through doors) to allow firefighting activities, and at the same time maintain adequate confinement, should be considered. Pre-fire plans should be developed for the radioactive waste storage and accumulation areas. The pre-fire plans should identify the area layout, access and egress points, type and location of suppression systems, radiological hazards, and SSCs important to the prevention or mitigation of releases of radioactive material that should be protected from the effects of fires. Onsite fire brigades and offsite responders should be adequately trained and drilled on the pre-fire plans and general fire attack strategy for the radioactive waste storage and accumulation areas.
