Division II REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO SPECIFIC MATERIALS OXIDIZING MATERIALS Sec. 80.20 l. (a) Oxidizing materials shall be stored in cool, ventilated dry locations and separated from organic materials. Bulk oxidizing materials shall not be stored on or against combustible surfaces. (b) Oxidizing materials shall be stored separately from flammable liquids, flammable solids, combustible materials, hazardous ~hemicals, corrosive liquids and",such other noncompatible materials as may be determined by the Chief. RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS Sec. 80.202. (a) Durable, clearly visible signs of warning of radiation dangers shall be placed at all entrances to areas or rooms where radioactive materials are used or stored. In addition, each container in which radioactive materials are used, stored or transported shall bear a durable, clearly visible, appropriate warning sign.

(b) Signs are not required for storage of manufactured articles other than liquids, such as instruments or clock dials or electronic tubes or apparatus of which radioactive materials are a component part, and luminous compounds, when securely packed in strong containers, provided the gamma radiation at any surface of the package is less than 10 milliroentgens in 24 hours. (c) When not in use, radioactive materials shall be kept in adequately shielded fire resistani containers 'of such design that the gamma radiation will not exceed 200 milliroentgens per hour or equivalent at any point of readily accessible surface. REACTIVE AND UNSTABLE MATERIALS Sec. 80.203. (a) General. Reactive and unstable materials shall be kept apart from open flames, excessive heat and other potential ignition sources. Storage shall be controlled to prevent excessive temperatures and pressures and to prevent contamination. Uncontaminated content of broken or cracked bags, packages or other containers shall be transferred to new and clean containers before storing. Other spilled materials and discarded containers shall be promptly gathered up and destroyed in an approved manner. Internal combustion motor vehicles or lift trucks shall not be parked or stored in a room or compartment where such materials are located. Electrical equipment shall conform to the requirements of the Electrical Code. (b) Organic Peroxides. A detached, well-isolated, ventilated and unheated storage building with walls having not less than a two-hour fire resistive rating constructed in accordance with the Building Code, a noncombustible floor and a lightweight insulated roof shall be provided for the storage of 50 pounds or more of organic peroxides. If not adequately protected.by a fast-acting deluge-type automatic sprinkler system, the storage building shall be located the following minimum distances from flammable or combustible liquid storage, combustible materials in the open and from any other building or highway.
