ASCE/SAME Joint May Program: San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) Decommissioning 

Southern California Edison (SCE) plans to safely decommission SONGS in full compliance with state and federal regulations. SCE formally notified the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on June 12, 2013, that it had permanently ceased operation of Units 2 and 3 on June 7, 2013. The notification, called a Certification of Permanent Cessation of Power Operations, set the stage for SCE to begin preparations for dismantling and decommissioning the plant. NRC regulations allow up to 60 years to complete decommissioning. SCE believes completing the current phase of dismantlement and decontamination work in a timely manner benefits SCE’s customers, local communities, and the environment. SCE expects to complete this phase around 2029.
