REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Organization responsible for the review of meteorology Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW Chapter 2 of the SRP discusses the site characteristics that could affect the safe design and siting of the plant. The staff reviews information presented by the applicant for a construction permit (CP), operating license (OL), design certification (DC), early site permit (ESP), or combined license (COL) concerning the onsite meteorological monitoring program and the resulting data. This SRP section applies to reviews performed for each of these types of applications. The review covers the following specific areas: 1. Meteorological instrumentation, including siting of sensors, sensor type and performance specifications, methods and equipment for recording sensor output, the quality assurance program for sensors and recorders, data acquisition and reduction procedures, and special considerations for complex terrain sites. 2. The resulting onsite meteorological database, including consideration of the period of record and amenability of the data for use in characterizing atmospheric dispersion conditions. 1Additional supporting information of prior DC rules may be found in DCD Tier 2 Section 14.3. 2.3.3-2 Revision 3 - March 2007 3. Additional Information for 10 CFR Part 52 Applications: Additional information will be presented dependent on the type of application. For a COL application, the additional information 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. 4. Design Certification Applications: For DC applications, the details of the meteorological monitoring program are site-specific and will be addressed by the COL applicant. Review Interfaces Other SRP sections interface with this section as follows: 1. Summaries of the hourly onsite meteorological data that are reviewed
