4. The functions of receiving, detecting, operation monitoring, and storage of waste shall be provided.
5. The maximum storage activity and storage capacity shall be determined.
6. Appropriate measures shall be adopted to reduce the rate of corrosion of the containers.
7. The waste in the storage facilities is retrievable.
8. Seismic resistant shall be provided to ensure the safety of the equipment and structure.
The design of the storage facilities of high level waste shall meet the following provisions additionally:
1. The functions of maintaining heat removal, closure, radiation shielding, structure and maintaining the sub-critical shall be provided by the storage cask.
2. The requirements on nuclear protection and safeguards shall be satisfied.

The radiation protection design of the storage facilities shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 1, Article 5.
The radiation-protection design of the storage facilities of nuclear reactors shall meet the provisions of the laws and regulations on the control of nuclear reactors.

The storage facilities shall be operated in accordance with the safety analysis report of the facilities and the regulations on radiation safety protection.

The low level radioactive waste generated by the operation of the treatment facility and the nuclear reactor facility shall not be stored for more than five years without being stabilized.
If it is assessed that it cannot be stabilized within five years, the operator shall submit a plan for the stabilization, and report to the competent authority for approval before continuing to store.

Where corrosion or deformation of container or deterioration of the solidified waste form occurs when the low level radioactive waste storage facilities are receiving radioactive waste or during the period of operation, the operator shall carry out maintenance.
The maintenance operations shall meet the following provisions:
1. Where the climate is not suitable for maintenance, the operations shall be suspended.
2. Training on radiation protection, maintenance operation, emergency response, and labor safety and hygiene shall be provided for the maintenance workers.
3. Maintenance shall be performed under the supervision of the radiation protection personnel recognized by the competent authority.
4. The maintained containers shall be marked in accordance with the provisions of Article 12.
5. The threshold values of non-fixed contamination on the surface of the maintained containers shall meet the provisions of Article 11.
6. The concentration of the suspended substances in the air in the maintenance operation area shall meet the provisions of the Ionization Radiation Protection Act.

The operators shall evaluate the storage facilities once every ten years after the license issued or renewed , and submit an evaluation report including the following contents to the competent authority for review and approval:
1. General description.
2. Examination and evaluation of the facility structures.
3. Examination and evaluation of the hoisting equipment.
4. Evaluation of the storage status of the waste.
5. Evaluation of storage operations.
6. Evaluation of the impacts of radiation.
7. Lesson learnt of the abnormal events occurred in past ten years.
8. Preliminary decommission plan.
9. Other matters designated by the competent authority.

Where corrosion or deformation of container or deterioration of the solidified waste is found in the evaluation of the storage facilities performed once every ten years, the operator shall submit a maintenance plan including the following contents to the competent authority, and implement the plan after it is approved:
1. General descriptions of the operation, including work contents, personnel organization, time schedule, work place, and layout of the storage area after maintenance is finished.
2. Equipments used for maintenance, including treatment equipments and solidifying agents.
3. Procedure of maintenance.
4. Radiation protection measures.
5. Waste management after maintenance is finished.
6. Industrial safety and hygiene measures.
7. Evaluation for personnel dose and environmental radiation impacts.
8. Response measures for accidents.
9. Quality assurance measures.
10. Other matters designated by the competent authority.
The operators shall, within six months after the maintenance plan is finished, submit a report on the proceeding of maintenance to the competent authority for review and approval.

To dispose the radioactive waste caused by accidents or in case of damage of a container filled with radioactive waste due to accidents, the waste shall be firstly moved into the storage facilities. And then the operator shall, within one month, submit a maintenance plan according to the provisions of the preceding article to the competent authority for approval prior to implementation.
