A minimum durability date should be provided and for highly perishable foodstuffs a use by date should be given. This latter requirement is a hindrance to the use of a time temperature indicator (TTI). A use by date should also cover foreseeable incorrect storage conditions, e.g., during transport. Therefore use by dates are set on a very safe (short) period. By use of appropriate TTIs the total safe consumption period could be used for the benefit of both the consumer and the manufacturer or retailer. It is assumed that further effort by TTI manufacturers may result in a legal recognition of TTI as a replacement for use by dates. 

TBT displayed losses at the start of the storage period but the content stabilised after 3 months. It is hence concluded that TBT remained stable at -i-20 C in the CRM in the dark however, in order to avoid any risk of organotin degradation during long term storage, it was decided to store the material at +4°C in the dark both DBT and TBT are unstable at +40°C. However, the two compounds are stable at this temperature for at least one month [11], which indicates that the material could be transported safely under extreme conditions. 

Spent fuel is stored in shielded basins of water or dry vaults. As the radioactive decay drops to safe levels, it may take hundreds to thousands of years. The nuclear waste containers are designed for an underground storage period of at least 10,000 years.

In a eutectic system, the whole composition or just the excipient may be subject to crystallisation, but this process takes time to reach completion. It may be much longer than the time taken to freeze the product to the desired temperature (Tg). After primary drying (ice sublimation), only solid solutes remain. The mixture may then be carefully warmed to its final storage temperature. The residual solid will not necessarily be anhydrous and may, for example, contain water of crystallisation. In addition, as the temperature is raised, the crystalline product may undergo solid-solid transitions, i.e. over a period of time, a different polymorph may become the preferred crystal habit. In a completely crystalline preparation, the maximum safe storage temperature will be governed by the component with the lowest melting point. 

Depending on the degree of affinity for moisture, plastic resins can be divided into two classes (1) hygroscopic and (2) nonhygroscopic. Moisture adsorption and/or absorption capability depends on the type of resins as well as the ambient temperature in which it is placed. In some instances, exposure of only few minutes can be detrimental. If the material is exposed to a certain temperature and relative humidity for a period of time, it will reach the equilibrium point, referred to as the equilibrium moisture content (EMC). Prior to drying it is important to know the permeability (product of the diffusion constant of water vapor-polymer system and the solubility coefficient) of polymer to water vapor since this dictates the condition for relative humidity for the safe storage of the polymer [16]. 

Pyrite, through its transformation to bulkier materials, has also been cited as responsible in some cases for slacking and the resultant production of fines. For these reasons, coal users are generally reluctant to stockpile high-sulfur coal for extended periods of time (Berkowitz and Schein, 1951). However, low-sulfur content of coal is no guarantee of safe storage—coal with low-sulfur content can also ignite. 

In the semicontinuous process, the reactor is initially charged with a fraction of the formulation (monomers, emulsifiers, initiator and water). The initial charge is polymerized in batch for some time and then the rest of the formulation is added over a certain period of time (typically 3—4 h). The monomers can be fed either as an aqueous pre-emulsion sta-bihzed with some emulsifier or as neat monomers. Monomers contain inhibitors to allow safe storage and they are used without purification. The initiator is fed in a separate stream. The goal of the batch polymerization of the initial charge is to nucleate the desired number of polymer particles. Because particle nucleation is prone to suffer run-to-run irreprodu-cibility, seeded semicontinuous emulsion polymerization is often used to overcome this problem. In this process, the initial charge contains a previously synthesized latex (seed) and eventually a fraction of the formulation (monomers, emulsifiers, initiator and water). Therefore, nucleation of new particles is minimized leading to better reproducibility. 

The committee recommends that the Environmental Protection Agency encourage safe disposal of chemical-radioactive (mixed) waste materials with short haU-lives by excluding the decay-in-storage period from the current 90-day limitation on storage of hazardous waste. 

Inspect and test peroxide-forming chemicals periodically (these should be labeled with an acquisition or expiration date) and discard containers that have exceeded their safe storage lifetime. 

Radioactive source materials are removed, but activated and contaminated areas are secured to allow radioactivity to decay over a period to significantly lower levels. Only those structures and equipment necessary to ensure protection of the public from residual radioactivity are maintained, all other structures being removed. During this period of "safe storage" access to the facility remains under the control of a nuclear license. Dismantlement of the storage structures is deferred until radioactivity levels have decayed significantly. Upon completion of dismantlement the property may be released for unrestricted use. 

UK, it takes at least tliree years or more. Five to ten years for safe storage is required if it follows the standard process for decommissioning in Japan. As a result, the period of about ten years or more will be necessaiy before the actual start of dismantUng of major facilities. It means that planning for decommissioning should consider technological level and social situation in the future of ten years or more.
