of low-Level Radioactive Waste After January 1, 1996,” Nov. 29, 1993. Issued under SRM dated Feb. 1, 1994. 67. NRC Inspection Manual Chapter IMC-2504, “Construction Inspection Program - Non-ITAAC Inspections,” issued April 25, 2006. PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT The information collections contained in the Standard Review Plan are covered by the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR Part 52, and were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, approval number 3150-0011 and 3150-0151. PUBLIC PROTECTION NOTIFICATION The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a request for information or an information collection requirement unless the requesting document displays a currently valid OMB control number. 11.4-25 Revision 3 - March 2007 APPENDIX 11.4-A DESIGN GUIDANCE FOR TEMPORARY STORAGE OF LOW-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE I. INTRODUCTION The objective of this technical position is to provide guidance to licensees considering additional onsite low-level radioactive waste storage capabilities. While it may be prudent and/or necessary to establish additional onsite storage capability, waste should not be placed in contingency storage if it can be disposed at a licensed disposal site. Shipping waste at the earliest practicable time minimizes the need for eventual waste reprocessing caused by potential changes in a disposal facility’s requirements, reduces occupational and nonoccupational exposures and potential accident consequences, and, in the event of burial ground closure, maximizes the amount of storage space available for use. The duration of the intended storage, the type and form of waste, and the amount of radioactive material present will dictate the safeguards and the level of complexity required to assure public health and safety and minimal risk to operating personnel. The longer the intended storage period, the greater the degree of controls that will be required for radiation protection and accident
