NRC Schedules SONGS PSDAR Public Meeting

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has scheduled the public meeting for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station’s decommissioning plan for Oct. 27. The NRC will meet with the public from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in Carlsbad, Calif. to discuss and answer questions on Southern California Edison’s Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report (PSDAR), cost estimate and used fuel management plan. The decommissioning documents outline the estimated costs and planned timeline for the cleanup, with a price tag of approximately $4.4 billion and a start date for major decommissioning activities to begin in 2016. Both the NRC and SCE will present at the meeting, with time scheduled for public comment.
