Abstract
This report documents a study to substantiate or modify the weather scenarios proposed in the AECB staff Position Paper on meteorological acceptance criteria for estimating the potential radiological consequences of postulated accidents (AECB, 1982) for short-, prolonged-, and long-term releases from ground level and elevated sources. The study examined selected meteorological data in Canada to determine whether the AECB proposed scenarios are sufficiently general that they are appropriate and conservative for nuclear power plant sites in Canada, but also realistic, i.e., not so conservative, that the results of dose calculations using these scenarios would be wholly unrepresentative, leading to incorrect design decisions. Three sets of site-specific meteorological data were used to derive a recommended general weather scenario set, which was then compared with the AECB proposed scenarios. The recommended scenarios are, in general, more conservative.
