Subject:

Design Criteria for Processed Water Storage Tanks In response to your request (letter TLL 029, R. Wilson to J. Collins, Janut.ry 24,1980) concerning acceptable design criteria for the processed

'wate* storage tanks, we have evaluated the consequences of a postulated f ailure of a storage tank in accordance with Standard. Review Plan 15.7.3.

Assuming that tritium is the most limiting radienuclide and that it's concentration is 1.0 uCi/ce, we find that the f ailure of an outdoor storage tank does not result in tritium concentrations in excess of the limit in 10 CFR Part 20, Table II, Column 2, at the nearest potable water supply e

(Brunner Island).

Therefore, we conclude that protective dikes around the However, we will require that you establish storage tanks are not required.

acministrative centrols for concentrations of tritium and cesium and strontium Acceptable concentration radionuclides that can be stored in the outdoor tanks.

limits for tritium and cesium and strontium radion~uclides are 1.0 uCi/cc and 1 x 10-' uCi/cc, respectively.

If you have any questions, please contact us.
