rt 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 EAB and outer boundary of the LPZ. SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria acceptable to meet the relevant requirements of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations identified above are as follows for the review described in this SRP section. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC's regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify differences between the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for its facility and the SRP acceptance criteria and evaluate how the proposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with the NRC regulations. The staff should review the following information in each application: 1. The pre-operational monitoring program should be described for CP and ESP applications and for COL applications that do not reference an ESP. The operational monitoring program should be described for OL and COL applications and in those ESP 2.3.3-5 Draft Revision 4 – September 2018 applications that include proposed complete and integrated emergency response plans. The operational monitoring program may be described for ESP applications that include major portions of the emergency response plans. The monitoring program description should include meteorological measurements made at the site (primary and, if applicable, backup towers) and any offsite equipment and instrumentation used by the applicant in their atmospheric dispersion analyses. As a minimum, the description should include: a. Instrument Siting • a site map (drawn
