on of the onsite meteorological monitoring program and the resulting database are acceptable and meet the requirements of 10 CFR 100.10 [or 10 CFR 100.20 and 10 CFR 100.21 for stationary power reactor site applications after January 10, 1997] with respect to determining the acceptability of the site. The staff finds that the onsite data also provide an acceptable basis for making estimates of atmospheric dispersion for design basis accident and routine releases from the plant to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 100.11 [or 10 CFR 100.20 and 10 CFR 100.21 for stationary power reactor site applications after January 10, 1997], GDC 19, 10 CFR Part 20, and Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. Finally, the equipment provided for measurement of meteorological parameters during the course of accidents is sufficient to provide reasonable prediction of atmospheric dispersion of airborne radioactive materials in accordance with Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50. 2. Early Site Permit Reviews The following statements should be preceded by a summary of the site characteristics and design parameters to be included in any ESP that might be issued for the ESP site: As set forth above, the applicant has presented and substantiated information to establish the onsite meteorological monitoring program and the resulting database. The staff has reviewed the information provided and, for the reasons given above, concludes that the onsite meteorological monitoring system provides adequate data to represent onsite meteorological conditions as required by 10 CFR 100.20 and 10 CFR 100.21. The onsite data also provide an acceptable basis for (1) making estimates of atmospheric dispersion for design basis accident and routine releases from a nuclear power plant or plants that might be constructed on the proposed site and (2) meeting the requirements of 10 CRP 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,
