On June 19, 2019, a Category 1 public meeting was held between the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and representatives of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E, the licensee). This meeting was open to members of the public. No regulatory decisions were made at this meeting.

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss preliminary information on PG&Es plan to submit the following documents, which relate to the planned shutdown of Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant (Diablo Canyon), Units 1 and 2:

a post-shutdown decommissioning activities report, an irradiated fuel management plan, and a site-specific decommissioning cost estimate.

The meeting notice and agenda, dated June 6, 2019, are available in the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) at Accession No. ML19157A033. A list of attendees is provided in the Enclosure. The licensee provided meeting slides, which are available in ADAMS at Accession No. ML19165A009.

By letter dated November 27, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18331A553), PG&E notified the NRC of its intent to permanently cease operations at Diablo Canyon, Units 1 and 2, upon expiration of the operating licenses. The licenses expire November 2, 2024, for Diablo Canyon, Unit 1; and August 26, 2025, for Diablo Canyon, Unit 2. During the public meeting, the licensee presented information regarding the decommissioning planning activities needed to support the direct transition to decommissioning upon permanent cessation of operations. On Slide 5 of the presentation, the licensee listed the submittals currently planned through December 2020, including the tentative submittal schedule. The licensee indicated that it plans to submit the post-shutdown decommissioning activities report, the irradiated fuel management plan, and the site-specific decommissioning cost estimate in August 2019.
