rol and accountability can be maintained. While structures may be required to meet specific seismic criteria, licensees should employ good engineering judgment to ensure that radioactive materials are contained safely, such as by the use of curbs and drains, and steel liners to contain spills of dewatered resins or sludge. B. If liquid wastes exist in a corrosive form, applicants and licensees should implement proven measures to protect containers (i.e., special internal liners or coatings) and/or neutralize all excess liquids. If deemed appropriate and necessary, non-corrosive materials (e.g., stainless steel) should be used. Potential corrosion between solid waste forms and containers should also be considered and minimized during planning and design stages. In the case of dewatered resins, highly corrosive acids and bases can be generated, which will significantly reduce the longevity of containers. The PCP should implement steps to assure the above does not occur and provisions should be made to govern container material selection and pre-coating to ensure that container breach does not occur during temporary or protracted storage periods. C. There should be provisions for additional reprocessing or repackaging in the event of container failures, as required by DOT shipping regulations and license disposal facility criteria for final transportation and disposal or long-term storage. Licensees should designate isolated staging areas used for decontamination activities and provide methods and equipment for decontamination. When significant handling and personnel exposures are anticipated, licensees should incorporate ALARA methodology using the guidance in RGs 8.8 and 8.10. D. Licensees should develop and implement procedures for early detection, prevention, and mitigation of accidents (e.g., fires from combustible materials and explosive gas mixtures). Storage areas and facility designs should incorporate good engineering features and capabilities for handling
