te in the container is not alone sufficient to ensure that free water is not present in the container. Provisions to be used to verify the absence of free liquids should consider actual solidification procedures which may create a thin layer of solidification agent on top without affecting the lower portion of the container. 11.4-15 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 III. WASTE STORAGE 1. Tanks accumulating spent resins from reactor water purification systems should be capable of accommodating at least 60 days waste generation at normal generation rates. Tanks accumulating spent resins from other sources and tanks accumulating filter sludges should be capable of accommodating at least 30 days waste generation at normal generation rates. 2. Storage areas for solidified wastes processed wet wastes (i.e., solidified or dewatered wastes) should be capable of accommodating at least 30 days waste 58 generation at normal generation rates. These storage areas should be located indoors. 3. Storage areas for dry wastes and packaged contaminated equipment should be capable of accommodating at least one full offsite waste shipment. IV. PORTABLE SOLID WASTE SYSTEMS The following supplementary guidance should be incorporated into the design and use of portable (mobile) solidification and/or dewatering systems: 1. Tanks containing wet wastes are limited to inplant installation, they should not be part of the portable system. 2. The use of flexible piping should be limited to necessary interfaces with plant systems. Such piping is also subject to the hydrostatic test requirements delineated in Regulatory Guide 1.143. 3. Portable systems should be located, as a minimum, on concrete pads with curbs and drainage provisions for containing radioactive spills. Provisions should be available for interfacing the drains with the plant's liquid radwaste system. Portable systems should have integral ventilation systems with either self-contained filters, or interface with the plant's ventilation
