Extreme Meteorological Events in Nuclear Power Plant Siting, Excluding Tropical Cyclones

Provides methods for determining extreme values of meteorological variables such as wind speed and temperature, and for determining the design basis events for specific meteorological phenomena such as tornadoes. Secondary effects of tornadoes, e.g. tornado-borne missiles, are also discussed as part of the design basis.
