The San Onofre Community Engagement Panel meets June 22 in San
Juan Capistrano to discuss storage of the San Onofre nuclear
plant’s used fuel. Guest speakers on topics ranging from
transportation of used nuclear fuel to a consent-based siting
process for interim fuel storage include:
- Allison M. Macfarlane, former Nuclear
Regulatory Commission chairman who served on the President’s Blue
Ribbon Commission on America’s Nuclear Future. Macfarlane is a
professor at George Washington University and director of the
Center for International Science and Technology Policy at the
university’s Elliott School of International Affairs.
- John Kotek, the U.S. Department of
Energy assistant secretary for the Office of Nuclear Energy who has
led a series of public meetings throughout the country in recent
months on the energy department’s approach to consent-based siting
of consolidated interim storage facilities for used nuclear
fuel.
- Jack Edlow, president of Edlow
International, a company with decades of international experience
transporting used nuclear fuel that today operates in 50
countries.
“We recognize there is strong community interest in storage of
San Onofre’s used nuclear fuel and believe the upcoming CEP meeting
will provide a robust forum for our neighbors to learn more and ask
questions about this important topic,” said Tom Palmisano, Southern
California Edison’s chief nuclear officer and vice president of
Decommissioning. During the meeting, he will provide an update on
preparations to decommission San Onofre.
The regular quarterly meeting will be from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at the
San Juan Capistrano Community Center, 25925 Camino del Avion.
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. For more information about
