Response
Florida Power Corporation has initiated a request for a study to be performed by Gilbert Associates, Inc., to evaluate the surface conditions associated with the present meteorological tower.
This study will be completed by January 1,1982.
In addition to the study, the ground adjacent to the meteorological tower will be leveled by December 1,1981, and steps taken to prevent the dumping of debris in that area.
Item 2.b.
Evaluate the impact of the abs =nce of acceptable alternative sources of meteorological data, characteri<
if site conditions, should the existing meteorological system become ir.
'able.
Response
An evaluation of the absence of acceptable alternative sources of meteorological data will be made prior to the restart of the unit. -In the iterim, meteorological data is available from Cross City, Florida and Ruskin, Florida, as an alternative to the on-site meteorological data system.
Item 2.c.
Evaluate the capability of the meteorological system to assess the impact of the shoreline environment upon a plume trajectory, following a postulated emergency event.
Response
Gilbert Associates, Inc., completed a study for Florida Power Corporation on September 11, 1981, titled ' Crystal River Meteorological Tower Data for Gulf Breeze Effects."
This study evaluated the impact of the shoreline environment on meteorological conditions local to the Crystal River site. It was determined that the Meteorological Tower can detect the sea breeze effect but cannot predict the distance inland where wind patterns change.
Based on this information, Florida Power Corporation is evaluating the appropriate compensatory measures to accommodate this finding.
These measures will be identified prior to restart of the unit.
If you 1. ave any questions concerning this matter, please contact this office.
Very tru.y yours, k.
