Meeting for Diablo decommissioning to be held in San Luis Obispo 

Diablo Canyon

–The Diablo Canyon Decommissioning Engagement Panel’s monthly public meeting will be held at the San Luis Obispo County Government Center. The meeting’s focus will be on Emergency Planning during Diablo Canyon decommissioning and will include a presentation by Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chief of Reactor Decommissioning, Bruce Watson.

Panelists are local community members that broadly reflect diverse community viewpoints and who live in proximity to Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP). Representatives from PG&E will be present to discuss DCPP decommissioning planning status and to answer questions.

The meeting will be held Wednesday, Oct. 24, from 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. An open house poster session for the panel and the public to speak with decommissioning subject matter experts will happen from 6 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., followed by a public meeting from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

The meeting will be held at the San Luis Obispo County Government Center, 1055 Monterey St., San Luis Obispo.

The Diablo Canyon Decommissioning Engagement Panel will help inform PG&E’s site-specific decommissioning plan on future land use and repurposing recommendations.

The consideration of the plan will be the subject of an ongoing regulatory process that will begin with the filing of the Nuclear Decommissioning Cost Triennial Proceeding in December 2018 at the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). PG&E plans, pending CPUC approval, to continue to engage with the panel and solicit input from the public on its plan during this multi-year review process.
