cal monitoring program and the resulting database. The staff has reviewed the information provided and, for the reasons given above, concludes that the onsite meteorological monitoring program and the resulting database are acceptable and meet the requirements of 10 CFR 100.10 [or 10 CFR 100.20 and 10 CFR 100.21 for stationary power reactor site applications after January 10, 1997] with respect to determining the acceptability of the site. The staff finds that the onsite meteorological data also provide an acceptable basis for making estimates of atmospheric dispersion for design basis accidents and atmospheric dispersion and deposition for routine releases from the plant to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 100.11 [or 10 CFR 100.20 and 10 CFR 100.21 for stationary power reactor site applications after January 10, 1997], GDC 19, 10 CFR Part 20, and Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. Finally, the instrumentation provided for measurement of meteorological parameters during the course of accidents is sufficient to provide reasonable prediction of atmospheric dispersion and deposition of airborne radioactive materials in accordance with Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50. 2. Early Site Permit Reviews The following are example statements that should be preceded by a summary of the pre-operational phase of the onsite meteorological monitoring program used for the proposed plant site: As set forth above, the applicant has presented and substantiated information pertaining to the pre-operational phase of the onsite meteorological monitoring program and the resulting database. The staff has reviewed the information provided and, for the reasons given above, concludes that the pre-operational onsite meteorological monitoring program provides adequate data to represent onsite meteorological conditions as required by 10 CFR 100.20 and 10 CFR 100.21. The onsite meteorological data also provide an acceptable basis for (1) making estimates of atmospheric dispersion for design basis accidents
