e weather phenomena, and air quality conditions resulting from station construction and operation. (This information may be cross- referenced from Chapter 5.0 of the applicant’s ER.) (5) Analyze the proposed terrain modifications (e.g., removal of trees, leveling of ground, installation of lakes and ponds) resulting from station construction and predict the potential effects of these modifi- cations on local meteorological characteristics with respect to the adequacy of available data consid- ering these modifications. (6) Determine the adequacy of data on regional climatological and local meteorological conditions and phenomena as bases for assessing the effects on design and siting of the station and heat dissipation system and as bases for assessing the impact on the atmospheric environment resulting from station construction and operation. (7) Review regional and local meteorological data for appropriateness as input to predictive models for assessing cooling system impacts on the atmospheric environment by considering the types and frequencies of available meteorological measurements, the elevations at which measurements are made, the selected cooling system design, and the height of effluent release to the atmosphere. Meteorological Input to Individual Dose Assessment When analyzing meteorological input to individual dose assessment, the reviewer should take the following steps: (1) Obtain the following information from the ESRP reviewers listed below: ` ESRP 3.5—a description of release point characteristics (i.e., elevation above grade, inside vent or stack diameter, physical shape, flow rate, effluent temperature, exit velocity, release frequency, and duration and type of effluent) for each point of routine release of radioactive effluent to the atmosphere ` ESRP 5.4.1—the locations of the nearest receptors (cow, goat, vegetable garden, residence, and site boundary) in each 22½q sector. (2) Compare the atmospheric transport and diffusion models used
