The San Onofre Community Engagement Panel meets Sept. 15 in Oceanside to discuss preparations to decommission the San Onofre nuclear plant.

Key topics include the safe storage and long-term management of used nuclear fuel that will remain at San Onofre until the federal government provides a required storage facility. The discussion will include the development of methods to inspect used fuel canisters, as well as ongoing monitoring and security. In addition, the 18-member panel will hear updates on state and federal regulatory steps, including environmental reviews that precede major dismantlement work.

The regular quarterly meeting will be from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at the QLN Conference Center, 1938 Avenida Del Oro, Oceanside. Staffed information booths will be open from 4:30-5:30 p.m. There will be a public comment period and the meeting will be live-streamed via songscommunity.com.

Southern California Edison announced in June 2013 that it would retire San Onofre Units 2 and 3, and had begun the process to decommission the facility. SCE has established core principles of safety, stewardship and engagement to guide decommissioning.
