  1. ANSI/ANS-3.11 Determining Meteorological Information at Nuclear Facilities Stanley L. Marsh, CCM, Southern California Edison 8th NUMUG Meeting St. Charles, IL May 9, 2002

  2. ANSI/ANS-3.11 • Purpose • Report on ANSI/ANS-3.11, a new Standard for Determining Meteorological Information at Nuclear Facilities. • Explore nuclear industry position on approaching NRC for their endorsement of ANSI/ANS-3.11. • Initiate steps to reaffirm, revise, or modify ANSI/ANS-3.11.

  3. ANSI/ANS-3.11Attributes • Reflects the current operational and regulatory climate by incorporating state-of-the-art data acquisition, processing, and recording technology. • Applicable to all nuclear facilities nationwide, civilian nuclear power industry and Federal government. • Replaces ANSI/ANS-2.5; clarifies existing issues and provides additional guidance without imposing new requirements. • Represents a technically sound, state-of-the-art standard without consideration of regulatory forcing functions.

  4. Why Was ANSI/ANS-2.5 Replaced? • No longer active per ANS Standards rules • Technically outdated • Emphasizes siting, not operation of nuclear facilities • Does not reflect current in situ meteorological instrumentation standards • Does not consider remote sensing technology • Does not reflect state-of-the-art data acquisition, processing, and archiving technology • Inconsistent with USEPA and ASTM guidance • Addresses only civilian nuclear power plants and not all non-reactor nuclear facilities • Does not address meteorological program life cycle considerations • Does not fully address complex terrain siting and operational issues • Inconsistent with NEXRAD, ASOS, EPA, and ASTM guidance

  5. ANSI/ANS-3.11Design Criteria • Replace ANSI/ANS-2.5, not just revise it. • Applicable to both civilian nuclear power industry and Federal Gov’t nuclear facilities. • Applicable to meteorological monitoring supporting siting, licensing, operation, emergency response, decontamination, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. • Reside in ANS-3.0, Operations. • Rely on existing, technically sound, meteorological guidance. • Develop new guidance only where necessary. • Stand alone, technically sound document.

  8. NRC RESPONSE (7/94) “…we are not aware of any safety issues which would suggest that a revision of this Regulatory Guide (1.23) is in order.” “…NRC approval is not needed for ANS to revise the subject standard.” “We cannot make a commitment at this time to endorse the revised ANSI/ANS-2.5 (ANSI/ANS-3.11) without a compelling safety argument.” “…the NRC will determine how to support your activity.” ANSI/ANS-3.11REGULATORY IMPLICATIONS

  9. NRC’S CURRENT POSITION ON METEOROLOGY (05/02) SAFETY GUIDE 23 (AKA, R.G. 1.23) IS STILL IN EFFECT. PROPOSED REV. 1, AND 2nd PROPOSED REV. 1 TO R.G. 1.23 WERE NEVER ADOPTED. AT PRESENT, THERE IS NO EFFORT, ONGOING OR PLANNED WITHIN NRC, FOR AN UPDATE OR REVISION. NRC IS WAITING FOR AN INDUSTRY TRADE GROUP (e.g. NUMUG) TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE TO GET ANSI/ANS-3.11 RECOGNIZED. ANSI/ANS-3.11REGULATORY IMPLICATIONS

  10. UPDATES/REVISIONS TO ANSI/ANS-3.11 THROUGH REAFFIRMATION PROCESS REAFFIRM “AS IS” BY 2/16/05 REVISE (MINOR EDITORIAL REVISIONS) MODIFY (MAJOR REVISIONS) REACTIVATE THE ANSI/ANS-3.11 WG VOLUNTEERS FOR WG MEMBERS? VOLUNTEERS FOR WG CHAIR? WG KICKOFF MEETING PLANNED AT AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY (AMS) ANNUAL MEETING IN LONG BEACH, CA, FEBRUARY 2003 DEVELOPMENT OF OTHER METEOROLOGICAL STANDARDS ANSI/ANS-3.11 WORKING GROUP (WG) FUTURE

  11. Should NUMUG initiate discussions with NRC to gain endorsement of ANSI/ANS-3.11? Yes No Should NUMUG support WG to seek re-affirmation of ANSI/ANS-3.11? Yes No Would you serve as a member on the ANSI/ANS-3.11 WG? Yes No Would you Chair the ANSI/ANS-3.11 WG? Yes No Comments/Ideas _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ Name ________________________ Affiliation _______________________ Please tear out this page and leave with NUMUG Steering Committee member at the end of day.
