om the general literature) - concentration of dissolved and suspended solids in tower basin. ` onsite meteorological data (from ESRP 2.7) ` predicted chemical interaction of the cooling tower plume(s) with existing pollutant sources located within 2 km of the plant (from the ER). Data and information on cooling lakes and canals or spray canals, including monthly and annual joint- frequency distribution tables of wind speed, wind direction, and atmospheric stability based on onsite data (from ESRP 2.7) should be obtained. Cooling-system effects information to be obtained include the following: ` a description of or reference to the applicant’s analytical technique for determining cooling system operational characteristics (from the ER) ` predictions of the following cooling system effects at site and vicinity locations (e.g., agricultural areas, residential areas, highways, and station facilities) described in ESRPs 2.2.1, 2.5.3, and 3.1 (from the ER): - annual plus seasonal and/or monthly elevated plume lengths - annual plus seasonal and/or monthly amounts of salt deposition - annual plus seasonal and/or monthly additional hours of fogging and icing - potential weather modification in terms of cloud formation and shadowing - annual plus seasonal and/or monthly increases in humidity. Data and information on similar heat dissipation systems, including operating experience for similar heat dissipation systems located within 50 km (31 mi) of the site (from the ER and the general literature) or from systems having generally similar climate and meteorology (from the general literature) should be obtained. NUREG-1555 5.3.3.1-4 October 1999 II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Acceptance criteria for the review of the impacts of heat dissipation on the atmosphere are based on the relevant requirements of the following: ` 10 CFR 51.71(d) with respect to the review of environmental issues associated with heat dissipation to the atmosphere ` 10 CFR 51.95 with respect to the post
