Southern California Edison (SCE) invites the public to attend a San
Onofre decommissioning education fair on Monday in San Juan Capistrano.
San Onofre’s key leaders will be on hand to answer questions about SCE’s
plan to decommission San Onofre within 20 years and safely manage the
plant’s used nuclear fuel. The fair will be from 4-7 p.m. at the San
Juan Capistrano Community Center, 25925 Camino del Avion.
“The education fair is just one part of Southern California Edison’s
comprehensive effort to inform and engage Californians every step of the
way as we decommission San Onofre,” said Chris Thompson, SCE’s vice
president of Decommissioning.
Thompson shares a wide range of decommissioning information in a recent interview
sponsored by the Association of California Cities-Orange County as part
of the Cox OC Civic Connection series. The interview also airs on Cox3
Cable On Demand (Channel 2636).
SCE and the other owners of San Onofre have established an 18-member
Community Engagement Panel to advise the owners on the nuclear plant’s
decommissioning. Documents reviewed by the CEP are available on the San
Onofre website, along with videotapes of the panel’s meetings.
Members of the public also may sign up here
to receive regular email updates about the $4.4 billion decommissioning
project.
SCE announced June 7, 2013 that it would retire
San Onofre Units 2 and 3, and begin preparations to decommission the
facility. SCE has established core principles of safety, stewardship and
engagement to guide decommissioning. For more information about SCE,
