conditions as required by 10 CFR 100.20 and 10 CFR 100.21. The onsite meteorological data also provide an acceptable basis for (1) making estimates of atmospheric dispersion for design basis accidents and atmospheric dispersion and deposition for routine releases from a nuclear power plant or plants that might be constructed on the proposed site and (2) meeting the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20, 10 CFR Part 100, and Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. If the ESP application contains proposed complete and integrated emergency response plans, add the following: Finally, for the operational phase, the instrumentation proposed for measurement of meteorological parameters during the course of accidents is sufficient to provide reasonable prediction of atmospheric dispersion and deposition of airborne radioactive materials in accordance 2.3.3-17 Draft Revision 4 – September 2018 with Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50. 3. Design Certification Reviews There are no postulated site parameters or design characteristics for a DC related to this SRP section. The onsite meteorological monitoring program is site-specific and will be addressed by the COL applicant. V. IMPLEMENTATION The staff will use this SRP section in performing safety evaluations of DC applications and license applications submitted by applicants pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50 or 10 CFR Part 52. Except when the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the Commission’s regulations, the staff will use the method described herein to evaluate conformance with Commission regulations. The provisions of this SRP section apply to reviews of applications submitted six months or more after the date of issuance of this SRP section, unless superseded by a later revision. VI.
