exterior walls, fire walls, fire barriers and roofs, or a combination thereof, where
quantities of hazardous materials not exceeding the maximum allowable quantities
per control area are stored, handled or used, including any dispensing.
\CRYOGENIC CONTAINER - ANS-A pressure container, low-pressure container or
atmospheric container of any size designed or used for the transportation, handling
or storage of a cryogenic fluid, and which utilizes venting, insulation, refrigeration or
a combination thereof to maintain the pressure within design parameters for such
container and to keep the contents in a liquid state.
