The Brunswick site does not appear to have any unusual aspects either in climate or topography that would require special consideration in a safety analysis. Stable atmospheric conditions occur about 30% of the time on an annual basis. The site is five miles f rom the Atlantic Ocean and any stable maritime flow would

be quickly modified by overland travel.

The applicant's choice of meteorological conditions for both accidental ground and elevated releases is quite conservative.

For example, it is highly improbable that the plume centerline would remain invariant over a 12-hour period. Although the building wake effect as used in the report amounts to a factor of 16 at 200 m, which we consider non-conservative, the effect at 600 m and 900 meters is a factor of 3 and 2, respectively, which agrees with available field duta.
