II. Discussion
Southern California Edison Company (SCE), San Diego Gas & Electric
Company, City of Riverside Utilities Department, and the City of
Anaheim, California, (the licensees), are the holders of Facility
Operating License Nos. NPF-10 and NPF-15, for SONGS, Units 2 and 3,
respectively. Southern California Edison Company is authorized to act
as the agent of the other owners. By letter dated June 12, 2013 (ADAMS
Accession No. ML131640201), SCE submitted a certification to the NRC
indicating it permanently ceased power operations at the SONGS Units 2
and 3 on June 7, 2013. By letters dated July 22, 2013 (ADAMS Accession
No. ML13204A304), and June 28, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13183A391),
respectively, SCE certified that it had permanently defueled the SONGS
Units 2 and 3 reactor vessels.
The facility consists of two permanently shutdown and defueled
pressurized-water reactors located in San Diego County, California.
On September 23, 2014, SCE submitted the PSDAR and DCE for SONGS
Units 2 and 3 in accordance with Sec. 50.82(a)(4)(i) of Title 10 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (ADAMS Accession No. ML14272A121). The
PSDAR includes a description of the planned decommissioning activities,
a proposed schedule for their accomplishment, the site-specific DCE
(submitted concurrently), and a discussion that provides the basis for
concluding that the environmental impacts associated with the site-
specific decommissioning activities will be bounded by appropriate,
previously issued generic and plant-specific environmental impact
statements.
III. Request for Comment and Public Meeting
The NRC is requesting public comments on the PSDAR and DCE for
SONGS Units 2 and 3. The NRC will conduct a public meeting to discuss
the PSDAR and DCE and receive comments on Monday, October 27, 2014,
from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m., PDT, at the Omni La Costa, 2100 Costa Del Mar
Road, Carlsbad, CA 92009. The NRC requests that comments that are not
provided during the meeting be submitted in writing by December 22,
2014.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 2nd day of October, 2014.
