Content:
oth a physical security program (fence, locked and alarmed gates and doors, and periodic patrols) and a restricted area for radiation protection purposes. The facility should not be in a location that requires transportation of the waste over public roads unless no other feasible alternatives exist. Licensees must conduct any transportation over public roads in accordance with the NRC and DOT regulations (10 CFR Part 71 and 49 CFR Parts 171–180). 4. Licensees should implement operational safety features to prevent the accidental dropping of containers from cranes and forklifts or the puncturing of containers from forklifts during the movement and transportation of radioactive waste containers. Personnel should receive training in the proper operation of such equipment and instruction on the use of methods to securely hold containers on such equipment (e.g., tie-downs, gates, cages). 5. The facility should include design features, in accordance with 10 CFR 20.1406, that would minimize, to the extent practicable, contamination of the waste facility and environment; facilitate eventual decommissioning; and minimize, to the extent practicable, the generation of extraneous radioactive waste. This requirement applies to storage facilities used to process and store liquid, wet, dry solid, and stabilized wastes. 6. For low-level dry waste and stabilized waste storage, the following criteria apply: A. Licensees shall monitor potential release pathways of all radionuclides present in the stabilized waste form as described in Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50. Surveillance programs shall incorporate adequate methods for detecting failure of container integrity and measuring releases to the environment. For outside storage, licensees shall conduct periodic direct radiation and surface contamination monitoring to ensure that levels are below limits specified in 10 CFR 20.1301 and 10 CFR 20.1302, 10 CFR Part 71, and Subpart I (Class 7) of 49 CFR Part 173. All containers should be
