No: 13-076 September 12, 2013 CONTACT: David McIntyre, 301-415-8200 NRC to Hold Public Meeting Sept. 26 in Carlsbad, Calif., on the Nuclear Power Reactor Decommissioning Process The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will hold a public meeting Sept. 26 in Carlsbad, Calif., to discuss the decommissioning process for nuclear power reactors, including the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in southern California.

The meeting will be held at the Omni LaCosta Hotel, 2100 Costa del Mar Road, in Carlsbad, from 6-9 p.m. Doors will open at 5 p.m. to allow for security screening. NRC technical staff will give a presentation lasting approximately 45 minutes describing the regulations and process covering decommissioning of nuclear power reactors, and then take questions from the public.

Southern California Edison has certified to the NRC that it has permanently ceased operations of San Onofre Units 2 and 3 and removed fuel from the reactors. Unit 1 was permanently shut down in 1992. The plant is located near San Clemente.
