erall system accuracy for each meteorological parameter measured (from the ER). II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Acceptance criteria for the onsite meteorological measurements program are based on the relevant requirements of the following: ` 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, with respect to meteorological data used in determining compliance with numerical guides for doses to meet the criterion of “as low as is reasonably achievable” (ALARA) ` 10 CFR 51.45(c) with respect to meteorological data provided to aid the Commission in its development of an independent analysis ` 10 CFR 51.50 with respect to keeping records of environmental data ` 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1) with respect to describing the meteorological characteristics of the proposed site in an early site permit application ` 10 CFR 100.10(c)(2) with respect to data collected for use in characterizing meteorological conditions of the site and surrounding area. Regulatory positions and specific criteria necessary to meet the regulations identified above are as follows: ` Section C of Regulatory Guide 1.23, Onsite Meteorological Programs (NRC 1972), contains specific criteria for an acceptable meteorological- measurement system. ` Appendix A of ESRP 2.7 describes an acceptable format for submission of meteorological data to NRC. Data may be submitted on magnetic tape or other media. ` Section C.4 of Regulatory Guide 1.111, Rev. 1, Methods for Estimating Atmospheric transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water Cooled Reactors (NRC 1977), contains guidance on summarization of meteorological measurements for use with models. ` Regulatory Guide 1.21, Measuring, Evaluating, and Reporting Radioactivity in Solid Wastes and Releases of Radioactive Materials in Liquid and Gaseous Effluens from Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants (NRC 1974), contains guidance on summarization of meteorological data for submission with reports of releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents.
