Duke Energy performed an analysis, or had a contractor (Hughes Associates) 
perform the analysis (depends on site), on DAW in a sealand or storage 
container similar to Beaver Valley.  We took into account how much material 
burned and for how long for a "gaseous" release, and how long fire-fighting 
activities occurred for the liquid release portion.

No, we performed our NFPA 805 analysis using Dry Active Wastes, such as 
contaminated materials stored in a seavan in the yard area.   For wet wastes, 
or liquids, you may want to consider requiring administrative spill prevention 
techniques to contain the waste.  I believe we implemented use of foam 
extinguishing material and storm drain barriers.  That detail goes into the 
fire plan/training for brigade members, not RP controls.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Powernet] Radioactive Release Performance Criteria question

We are assisting our fire protection engineers with the radioactive release 
performance criteria for the NFPA 805 safety evaluation.  As part of that 
evaluation, we are looking at limits for radioactive materials in areas that 
are outside the containment/auxiliary building air handling systems.  We have a 
large radioactive storage facility that meets this criteria. If you performed a 
similar calculation, did you consider Wet Solid Wastes (filters, resins, etc 
meeting disposal site WACs) to be combustible contaminated materials?
