us Areas 255 Miscellaneous areas such as shops, warehouses, auxiliary boiler rooms, fuel oil tanks, and flammable and combustible liquid storage tanks should be so located and protected that a fire or effects of a fire, including smoke, will not adversely affect any safety-related systems or equipment. 8. Special Protection Guidelines a. Storage of Acetylene-Oxygen Fuel Gases Gas cylinder storage locations should not be in areas that contain or expose safety-related equipment or the fire protection systems that serve those safety-related areas. A permit system should be required to use this equipment in safety-related areas of the plant (also see Position C.2). b. Storage Areas for Ion Exchange Resins Unused ion exchange resins should not be stored in areas that contain or expose safety-related equipment. c. Hazardous Chemicals 9.5.1-61 DRAFT Rev. 4 - April 1996 Hazardous chemicals should not be stored in areas that contain or expose safety-related equipment. d. Materials Containing Radioactivity Materials that collect and contain radioactivity such as spent ion exchange resins, charcoal filters, and HEPA filters should be stored in closed metal tanks or containers that are located in areas free from ignition sources or combustibles. These materials should be protected from exposure to fires in adjacent areas as well. Consideration should be given to requirements for removal of decay heat from entrained radioactive materials. D.
