Content:
nformation is dependent on whether the application references an ESP, a DC, both or neither. Information requirements are prescribed within the “Contents of Application” sections of the applicable Subparts to 10 CFR Part 52. Review Interfaces Other SRP sections interface with this section as follows: 1. The reviewer provides findings on the assessment of the construction and operation impacts of the plant and its facilities on meteorological site characteristics or parameters to the reviewers of the appropriate subsections within SRP Chapter 3, as necessary, to ensure structures, systems, and components (SSCs) important to safety are adequately designed. 2. The reviewer provides findings on local meteorological conditions that could affect the atmospheric dispersion and deposition estimates to the reviewers of SRP Sections 2.3.4 and 2.3.5. 3. For DC applications and COL applications referencing a DC rule or DC application, review of the site parameters in the Design Control Document (DCD) Tier 1 and Chapter 2 of the DCD Tier 21 submitted by the applicant is performed under SRP Section 2.0, “Site Characteristics / Site Parameters.” Review of site characteristics and site-related design parameters in ESP applications or in COL applications referencing an ESP is also performed under Section 2.0. The specific acceptance criteria and review procedures are contained in the referenced SRP sections. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Requirements Local meteorological and topographic descriptions of the site area, both before construction and during operation of the plant that might be constructed on the proposed site, should be presented. Meteorological impacts on plant design and operation, as well as the impact on local meteorological conditions from the nuclear power plant or plants and its facilities, should be discussed. The information should be fully documented and substantiated as to its representativeness of conditions at and near the site. Acceptance criteria are
