, to local meteorological modifications. e. Determine air quality conditions used for design and operating basis considerations. f. Compare the reviewer's assessment with that of the applicant. 4. The reviewer provides the findings on meteorological parameters to the Structural Engineering Branch and other branches as necessary for review of the adequacy of the design of structures, systems and components important to safety. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The reviewer verifies that sufficient information has been provided and that his evaluation supports concluding statements of the following type, to be included in the staff's safety evaluation report: The staff has reviewed available information relative to local meteoro- logical and air quality conditions that are of importance to the safe design and siting of this plant. The staff concludes that the identification and consideration of the meteorological, air quality, and topographical characteristics at the site and in the surrounding area are acceptable and meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 100, §100.10(c)(2) with respect to deter- mining the acceptability of the site. The staff also concludes that the identification and consideration by the applicant of the severe local weather phenomena at the site 2.3.2-3 Rev. 2 - July 1981 and the surrounding are acceptable and meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion 2, "Design Bases for Protection Against Natural Phenomena," with respect to estab- lishing the design bases for structures, systems, and components important to safety. These conclusions are based .on the following: (1) The applicant has provided and substantiated information on local meteorological and air quality conditions and characteristics, including severe weather phenomena, in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.70, Section 2.3.2, and in accordance with standard practice as promulgated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and (2) The applicant has met
