Content:
(Ref. 1): a. 10 CFR 100.10(c)(2) with respect to the meteorological conditions at the site and in the surrounding area which should be considered in determining the acceptability of a site for a power reactor. b. 10 CFR 100.11(a) with respect to using the meteorological conditions pertinent to the site, along with an assumed fission product release from the core and the expected containment leak rate during postulated accidents, to ensure that prescribed dose limits for the EAB and LPZ are met. 2. For stationary power reactor site applications on or after January 10, 1997 (Ref. 2): a. 10 CFR 100.20(c)(2) with respect to the meteorological characteristics of the site that are necessary for safety analysis or that may have an impact upon plant design in determining the acceptability of a site for a nuclear power plant. b. 10 CFR 100.21(c) with respect to the meteorological data used to evaluate site atmospheric dispersion characteristics and establish dispersion parameters such that (1) radiological effluent release limits associated with normal operation can be met for any individual located off site, and (2) radiological dose consequences of postulated accidents meet prescribed dose limits at the Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB) and Low Population Zone (LPZ). 3. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criteria (GDC) 19, “Control Room,” with respect to the meteorological considerations used to evaluate the personnel exposures inside the control room during radiological and airborne hazardous material accident conditions. GDC are not applicable for ESP applications. 4. 10 CFR Part 50, Paragraphs 50.47(b)(4), 50.47(b)(8), and 50.47(b)(9), as well as Section IV.E.2 of Appendix E with respect to the onsite meteorological information available for determining the magnitude and continuously assessing the impact of the releases of radioactive materials to the environment during a radiological emergency. 5. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I with respect to meteorological data
