Content:
e., special liners or coatings) and, or neutralize the waste. If deemed appropriate and necessary, highly noncorrosive materials (e.g., stainless steel) should be used. Potential corrosion between the solid waste forms and the container should also be considered. In the case of dewatered resins, highly corrosive acids and bases can be generated which will significantly reduce the longevity of the container. The Process Control Program (PCP), should implement steps to assure the above does not occur, and provisions on container material selection and precoating should be made to insure that container breach does not occur during temporary storage periods. (3) Provisions should be made for additional reprocessing or repackaging due to container failure and/or, as required for final transporting and burial, as per DOT and burial site criteria. Contamination isolation and decontamination cap- abilities should be developed. Whereby significant handling and personnel exposure can be anticipated, ALARA methodology should be incorporated as per Regulatory Guides 8.8 and 8.10. 11. 4-A-4 Rev. 0 - July 1981 4. Low Level Dry Waste Storage (a) Low level dry waste is classified as contaminated material which contains sources of radioactive material that is dispersed in small concentrations throughout large volumes of inert material which contain no free water. Generally, this consists of dry contaminated material such as rags, clothing, paper, air filters and small equipment (i.e., tools and instruments) which cannot be easily decontaminated. (b) Licensees should implement controls to segregate and minimize the generation of Low Level Dry Waste to lessen the impact on waste storage. (c) The following design objectives and criteria are applicable for low level dry waste storage containers and facilities. (1) All dry or compacted radwaste should be located in restricted areas where effective material control and accountability can be maintained. While structures are not required to
