orological program as follows: The Instrumentation and Controls Branch (HICB) assists the PERB by providing review of the adequacy of instrumentation to assess plant and environs conditions during and following an accident and associated information systems using the criteria and review methods described in SRP Section 7.5.7 For those areas of review identified above as part of reviews under other SRP sections, the acceptance criteria necessary for the review and their methods of application are contained in the referenced SRP section.8 II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA AEBPERB acceptance criteria for the onsite meteorological measurement program are based on 9 the relevant requirements of the following regulations: A. 10 CFR Part 100, §100.10(c)(2) as related to meteorological data collected for use in characterizing meteorological conditions of the site and surrounding area. B. 10 CFR Part 100, §100.11(a) as related to meteorological data used in the evaluation to determine an exclusion area and a low population zone. C. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, as related to meteorological data used in determining the compliance with the numerical guides for doses to meet the criterion of "as low as is reasonably achievable" (ALARA).10 D. 10 CFR 50.47 and Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 as related to additional requirements for meteorological measurements and instrument reliability to facilitate emergency preparedness planning.11 Specific criteria necessary to meet Part 100, Appendix I, 10 CFR 50.47, Appendices E and I to 10 CFR Part 50, and 10 CFR Part 100 are as follows: 12 1. The onsite meteorological measurements programs should produce data which can be summarized to provide a description of the meteorological characteristics of the site and its vicinity for the purpose of making atmospheric dispersion estimates for both postulated accidental and expected routine airborne releases of effluents and for 2.3.3-3 DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 comparison with offsite sources to determine the
