Business Wire
The San Onofre Community Engagement Panel (CEP) will discuss new
research of Southern California seismic issues at its regular
meeting Thursday in Dana Point. The CEP advises the owners of the
retired San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) on
decommissioning.
Dr. Neal Driscoll, a professor of geology and geophysics at the
Scripps Institution of Oceanography, will present new research
regarding known and hypothesized faults, mandated by the California
Energy Commission to evaluate potential seismic impacts at the San
Onofre nuclear plant. Two peer-reviewed reports are available on
the San Onofre website, one published in Marine Geology and the
other in Applied Geology in California.
In addition, Southern California Edison, the decommissioning
agent on behalf of San Onofre’s owners, will introduce the
decommissioning general contractor hired in December. SONGS
Decommissioning Solutions, a joint venture
of AECOM and EnergySolutions, will provide an
overview of major dismantlement work scheduled to begin next
year.
Tom Palmisano, SCE vice president and chief nuclear officer,
will provide a decommissioning update.
The regular quarterly meeting will be from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at the
Ocean Institute, 24200 Dana Point Harbor Drive, Dana Point. 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.
SCE 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.
