<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; 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>
