margin: 30px 0px;">The nuclear plant at San Onofre, known as
SONGS for short, has not produced electricity since 2012 after a
leak in a steam generator tube led to its closing.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin: 30px 0px;">The Community Engagement Panel was created
two years later by Southern California Edison, the utility that
operates SONGS, to<span> </span><a class="link"

between the plant’s co-owners and the public</a>.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin: 30px 0px;">Hosting four meetings per year, the panel’s
members consist of elected officials from communities
surrounding SONGS. The panel also includes representatives from
labor, tribal and nonprofit interests.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin: 30px 0px;">The Community Engagement Panel has no
regulatory or enforcement powers and members serve on a
voluntary basis. Aside from the elected officials, at-large
members are recruited by Edison and the plant’s co-owners.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin: 30px 0px;">Victor’s tenure came during “very, very
controversial periods,” at the plant, he said, adding, “I think
(the panel) has been a particularly useful institution and I’m
proud of what we did and what we keep doing.”</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; background-repeat: no-repeat;

August 2018 when<span> </span><a class="link"

at SONGS spoke up</a><span> </span>and described how a
canister filled with spent nuclear fuel assemblies almost fell
while being lowered into its storage cavity at the north end of
the plant.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; background-repeat: no-repeat;

text-decoration: underline; color:

insisted the workers and the public were never in danger if the
canister had fallen. The incident led the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission to conduct a special inspection, which
concluded that plant officials failed “to establish a rigorous
process to ensure adequate procedures, training and oversight
guidance” and<span> </span><a class="link"

<p style="box-sizing: border-box; background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin: 30px 0px;">Though Victor is stepping down as chair of
the Community Engagement Panel, he said he will continue to work
on nuclear storage issues. That includes talking about
legislation with members of the U.S. House of Representatives
and the Senate and chairing a working group consisting of people
across the country who live near active and decommissioned
commercial power plants such as SONGS.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin: 30px 0px;">“We figure that by getting a common message,
speaking from the same playbook as it were, and being very
focused on how do you get spent fuel out of these sites where
it’s stranded, that we can maybe make some progress,” Victor
said.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin: 30px 0px;">The 3.55 million pounds of highly radioactive
fuel at SONGS have been placed into more than 120 canisters,
sitting in the plant’s two storage facilities.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin: 30px 0px;">The waste will remain there until the federal
government finds a place to put it. But the problem is not
unique to SONGS.</p>
