The san onofre community engagement panel (CEP) has been established to foster public education and involvement during the decommissioning of the San Onofre nuclear power plant. According to Southern California Edison, the CEP will serve as a conduit of information between the plant's owners and the public. SCE announced on February 6 that David Victor, a professor at the University of California at San Diego and a member of the Electric Power Research Institute's board of directors, has been named chairman of the CEP and that Edward "Ted" Quinn, an ANS past president (1998-1999), is a member of the panel. In June 2013, SCE announced that it would close San Onofre-2 and -3 and begin preparations to decommission the plant. The CEP will hold public meetings at least quarterly to provide information on key decommissioning issues, including the timing of the transfer of spent nuclear fuel from pools to dry cask storage and SCE's blueprint for decommissioning as detailed in the post-shutdown decommissioning activities report to be submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
