ste forms, radionuclides and radioactive material, dates of storage, shipment, and other relevant data. Inventory records should be maintained and updated periodically as wastes are being accumulated, and be readily accessible in the event of an emergency in guiding first responders and for assessing potential radiological impacts. VI. LOW-LEVEL DRY WASTE STORAGE 1. Low-level dry waste is classified as contaminated material (e.g., paper, trash, rags, clothing, plastics, glass, metal scraps, wood, air filters, and spent charcoal media) that contains radioactive materials dispersed randomly in relatively small concentrations throughout large volumes of inert material and contains no free water. Generally, this category also includes items and material that cannot be readily decontaminated, such as tools and instruments, trash, etc. Depending on their physical properties, some types of dry wastes can be compacted and processed to reduce their bulk shipping volumes. 2. Licensees should implement controls to segregate and minimize the generation of low- level dry waste to lessen the impact on waste storage capacity. Licensees should consider the integration of volume reduction equipment to minimize the need for additional waste storage facilities. The design should be reviewed and evaluated against the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1406 and guidance of RG 4.21, and applicable industry standards. 3. The following design objectives and criteria are applicable for low-level dry waste storage containers and facilities: A. Structures that house dry waste should be designed to seismic criteria as defined in this SRP section and SRP Sections 11.2, 11.3, and 12.3-12-4, and guidance of RG 1.143 for wastes produced during normal operation and AOOs. All dry or compacted radwaste should be located in restricted areas where effective material control and accountability can be maintained. While structures may be required to meet specific seismic criteria, licensees should use good
