A site of low level waste disposal facility must not be located in any of the following areas:
1.Area where active faulting or geological conditions could endanger the safety of the disposal facility.
2.Area where the geochemical conditions are unfavorable for effectively suppressing the diffusion of radioactive nuclides, and it is likely to endanger the safety of the disposal facility.
3.Area where the hydrologic conditions of surface water or groundwater are likely to endanger the safety of the disposal facility.
4.Area of high population density.
5.Areas that cannot be developed according to the law.

The design of low level disposal facilities shall ensure the annual effective dose caused to a general public outside the facilities are not more than 0.25mSv, and confirm to the as low as reasonably achievable principle.

Multiple barriers shall be designed in the low level disposal facilities, and the waste shall be disposed in different sections according to their class.

The design of the safety system and component of low level disposal facilities shall meet the following provisions:
1.Inspection, maintenance, and test can be performed.
2.Protective measures can be taken for expectable natural disasters.
3.The function of emergency response shall be provided.
4.The function of mutual substitute or redundant shall be provided.

Before the closure of low level disposal facilities, the drainage and anti-infiltration design shall be able to prevent the waste from contacting with the accumulated water or infiltrated water.

The security and alarm design of low level disposal facilities shall be able to prevent any individual inadvertently intruding into the disposal site and occupying the site.
