ntamination and decommissioning of the temporary storage facility also need to be integrated into the design and operation of the proposed storage facility. B. STORAGE FACILITY REQUIREMENTS 1. General Requirements (a) The following design objectives and criteria are applicable for wet, solidified (or dewatered), and low level dry radioactive waste storage facilities: (1) The quantity of radioactive material allowed and the shielding configurations will be dictated by the dose rate criteria for both the site boundary and unrestricted areas onsite. The 40 CFR Part 190 limits will restrict the annual dose from direct radiation and effluent release to the DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 11.4-18 public (individual to less than 25 mrem per year to the whole body from all sources of the uranium fuel cycle; therefore, offsite doses from onsite storage must be sufficiently low to account for other sources (e.g., < 1 mrem/year. Onsite dose limits associated with temporary storage will be controlled per 10 CFR Part 20 including the ALARA principle of 10 CFR Part 20, Section 20.1. (2) All potential release pathways of radionuclides (e.g., evolved gases, breach of container, etc.) shall be controlled and monitored as per 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix A (General Design Criteria 60 and 64). Surveillance programs should incorporate adequate methods for detecting failure of container integrity and measuring releases to the environment. (b) In addition, the following design objectives and criteria are applicable to solidified (or dewatered) and low level dry radioactive waste storage facilities: (1) For outside storage, periodic direct radiation and surface contamination monitoring shall be conducted to insure that levels are below limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Section 20.202, 20.205, and 49 CFR Part 173, Section 173.397. All containers should be decontaminated to these levels or below before storage. (2) Procedures should be developed and implemented for early detection, prevention and
