onsite. The application should also include calculations of (1) the short-term atmospheric dispersion estimates for accident releases discussed in SRP Section 2.3.4, and (2) the long-term atmospheric dispersion and deposition estimates for routine releases discussed in SRP Section 2.3.5 based on the one-year data set. The staff should not make findings until it receives and evaluates a complete 2-year data set and an updated safety analysis report based on the complete 2-year data . The letter informing the applicant that the application has been accepted for docketing should provide instructions to the applicant for completing the meteorological data set. This letter should also instruct the applicant to submit the second year data set, along with: (1) the onsite meteorological monitoring program data summaries reviewed in SRP Section 2.3.2, (2) the short-term atmospheric dispersion estimates reviewed in SRP Section 2.3.4, and (3) the long-term atmospheric dispersion and deposition estimates reviewed in SRP Section 2.3.5 based on the composite 2-year POR. 3. The applicant should identify and justify any deviations from the guidance provided in RG 1.23. 2.3.3-7 Draft Revision 4 – September 2018 Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraphs: 1. For power reactor site applications submitted before January 10, 1997, 10 CFR 100.10(c)(2) states that meteorological conditions at the site and in the surrounding area should be considered in determining the acceptability of a site for a power reactor. Likewise, for power reactor site applications submitted on or after January 10, 1997, 10 CFR 100.20(c)(2) requires consideration of the meteorological characteristics of the site that are necessary for safety analysis or that may have an impact upon plant design in determining the acceptability of a site for a nuclear power plant.
