e assuming the failure of all tanks or containers. Provisions should be incorporated to route spilled wet waste to the radwaste treatment systems. (4) All tanks and containers shall have provisions to monitor liquid levels and to alarm potential overflow conditions. DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 11.4-20 (5) All temporarily stored wet waste will require additional reprocessing prior to shipment offsite; therefore, provision should be established to integrate the required treatment with the waste processing and solidification systems. The interface and associated systems should be designed and tested in accordance with the codes and standards described in Regulatory Guide 1.143. 3. Solidified Radioactive Waste Storage (a) Solidified radwaste shall be defined as wet waste (e.g., evaporator bottoms, resins, and sludge) which is solidified, meets the free liquid criteria of Branch Technical Position ETSB 11-3, and satisfies applicable transportation and disposal site requirements. For purposes of this appendix, dewatered resins or filter sludges satisfying the two latter criteria shall also be defined under this waste classification. (b) Dewatered resins and sludges should be stored in containers that satisfy receiving burial site criteria, in addition to applicable transportation regulations. Any storage plans should address container protection as well as any reprocessing requirements for eventual shipment and burial. (c) Casks, tanks, and liners containing solidified radioactive waste should be designed with good engineering judgement to preclude or reduce the occurrence of uncontrolled releases of radioactive materials due to handling, transporting, or storage. Accident mitigation and control for design basis events (e.g., fire, flooding, tornadoes, etc.) must be evaluated and protected against unless otherwise justified. (d) The following design objectives and criteria are applicable for solidified waste storage containers and facilities: (1) All solidified radwaste
