MOMENTS IN TIME ~ The History Channel

* On July 15, 1606, the great Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn is born in Leiden. Rembrandt completed more than 600 paintings, many of them portraits or self-portraits. By the age of 22, he was accomplished enough to take on his own students.

* On July 14, 1789, Parisian revolutionaries and mutinous troops storm and dismantle the Bastille, a royal fortress built in 1370 that had come to symbolize the tyranny of the Bourbon monarchs. This dramatic action signaled the beginning of the French Revolution.

* On July 11, 1922, the Hollywood Bowl, one of the world’s largest natural amphitheaters, opens. Its stage was a wooden platform with a canvas top, and audiences sat on moveable benches set on the hillsides of the surrounding canyon. In 1926, a group of Los Angeles architects built the Hollywood Bowl’s first shell.

* On July 16, 1935, the world’s first parking meter, known as Park-O-Meter No. 1, is installed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Indignant opponents of the meters considered paying for parking un-American, as it forced drivers to pay what amounted to a tax on their cars without due process of law.

* On July 12, 1957, Dwight D. Eisenhower becomes the first president to ride in the newest advance in aviation technology: the HMX-1 Nighthawk helicopter, administered jointly by the Army and the Marine Corps.

* On July 13, 1960, Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts is nominated for the presidency by the Democratic Party Convention. Four months later, on Nov. 8, Kennedy won 49.7% of the popular vote, edging the 49.6% received by Richard M. Nixon, a Republican.

Camp Mail Call

A yellowed 4-cent postcard surfaced from the bottom of an old shoebox stashed in our attic. A classic in time, it was sent before ZIP codes and eons before cellphones and snappy e-mail. The relic wasn't written by some great-grandparent, but by my "boomer" husband to his parents when he was off to camp for the first time at Round Lake in northern Minnesota at the age of 10.

I'm sure his parents were waiting patiently for news of the week. Was he healthy, happy, making new friends, missing his parents — but not too much? — all those concerns we have when our kids are away from home for the first time.

Well, here's what he wrote:

"Dear Mom and Dad, I wasn't going to write, but they made me write it or I couldn't eat dinner. Camp is really fun. We won volleyball and water polo today and now tied for second place. Well, now that I got this written, I can go eat.

Love, Dean"

days before he leaves home. Your child will be thrilled to hear from you the first day of camp. Keep the letters coming. They'll no doubt end up in a scrapbook (or shoebox) your child will treasure in years to come.

— If your child is a baseball fan, remember to send clippings of box scores of games missed while away, or send a favorite comic strip from the paper.

— Tuck in addressed envelopes, stamps and a pen to encourage your child to write home.

— If your child's camp will print out your e-mailed letters, try not to overload the system. There is a fine line between keeping in touch and letting your child feel independent and "away" from his typical "at home" routine.

TIP: A camp experience in the outdoors can positively impact a child. Consider sending a kid to camp by providing scholarship funds for someone who might not otherwise have resources. Contact a camp of your choice or your local YMCA directly to find out how you can sponsor a camper.

While we like to receive any word from our kids while they're away at sleepover camp, it's the campers who also like to hear their name at "mail call." Here are some tips:

SaskPower chooses General Electric-Hitachi

design for first potential small modular nuclear reactors

Twice last week, SaskEnergy set new daily natural gas usage records, and we can thank Alberta for most of our supply

It might take a decade or so to get the first one online, but SaskPower has chosen the reactor design for its first nuclear reactor ever. The announcement was made on June 27.

Not only was Saskatchewan setting electrical consumption records during the cold snap of last week of December, we also set two consecutive natural gas consumption records, too.

According to SaskEnergy in a Dec. 31 release, “Extreme cold weather across Saskatchewan this week resulted in record-breaking natural gas demand in the province. On December 28 and 29, natural gas consumption surpassed the previous daily record of 1.57 petajoules (PJ) which was set in February 2021.

Following a thorough assessment of several Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technologies, SaskPower has selected the GE-Hitachi BWRX-300 for potential deployment in Saskatchewan in the mid-2030s.

“A new daily record of 1.62 PJ was set on December 28 and broken again on December 29 with total system delivery of 1.64 PJ. Delivery numbers for December 30 and 31 are not yet finalized, but are also expected to exceed 1.6 PJ.”

The natural gas records coincided with record power consumption. On Dec. 29, SaskPower set another record in power consumption for Saskatchewan. At 5:27 p.m. on Dec. 29, 2021, Saskatchewan homes and businesses reached 3,868 megawatts (MW) in power use, according to the Crown corporation. The previous record of 3,792 MW was reached four years ago to the day, on Dec. 29, 2017.

“This is an important milestone as Saskatchewan works towards a cleaner, more sustainable future,” said Don Morgan, Minister responsible for SaskPower. “Today’s announcement further acts on the Saskatchewan Growth Plan goal of advancing potential development of zero-emission small modular reactor technology.”

Saskatchewan’s power production has increasingly shifted from coal to natural gas as a fuel source. In December, Boundary Dam Unit 4, a coal-fired generating unit, was retired, reducing the Boundary Dam Power Station to 672 megawatts capacity. On the natural gas side, Saskatchewan has seen the construction of several new natural gas-fired power plants. They include the baseload North Battleford Power Station (289 megawatts), Yellowhead Power Station peaking plant (also at North Battleford, 135 megawatts), the baseload Chinook Power Station at Swift Current (353 megawatts) and peaking plant Spy Hill Power Station (89 megawatts). Another 353 megawatt baseload

The “300” in the name denotes 300 megawatts in electrical power production capacity. This is roughly the same size as SaskPower’s Poplar River Units 1 and 1, Boundary Dam Unit 6, and Shand Power Station. As the province is considering building four of these SMR, that would be a roughly one-to-one replacement for the largest coal generators in Saskatchewan.

As far as small nuclear reactors go, General Electric has probably more experience than any other company

plant, very similar to Chinook, is under construction at Moose Jaw.

All of this added natural gas-fired power generation has, in turn, driven higher usage of natural gas during times of high electrical consumption.

The Crown noted that increased demand from SaskEnergy’s industrial customers, including natural gas use for power production, was the main driver of this week’s record-setting consumption.

on the planet, building reactors to power the United States Navy submarine fleet since the 1950s. The second nuclear submarine ever built, the USS Seawolf, was powered by a General Electric reactor. Nearly all US Navy submarines built since the 1970s have had GE reactors, without any critical incident occurring during that time.

According to Hitachi, the footprint of a BWRX-300 would sit inside of a CFL football field.

SaskEnergy said it measures daily natural gas consumption for the 24-hour period from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. A PJ is a unit of measurement equivalent to one million gigajoules (GJ) of natural gas. An average Saskatchewan home consumes about 100 GJ of natural gas each year.

“SaskEnergy’s natural gas system design can accommodate additional capacity to manage increased consumption even on peak days,” SaskEnergy president and CEO Ken From said in a release. “Throughout the year, SaskEnergy employees inspect, maintain and enhance the system to support safe and reliable natural gas delivery in all weather conditions. In addition, employees monitor the system 24 hours a day to ensure sufficient system capacity to meet customer demand across the province.”

This province is now largely dependent on neighbouring Alberta to fulfill roughly two-thirds of our natural gas needs.

“Using a combination of modular and open-top construction techniques, the BWRX-300 can be constructed in 24-36 months while achieving an approximate 90 percent volume reduction in plant layout. In addition, reducing the building volume by about 50 percent per MW should also account for 50 percent less concrete per MW,” says the GE website.

When natural gas prices took a tumble roughly 14 years ago, Saskatchewan’s domestic gas production fell off a cliff. Targeted gas drilling went essentially extinct, with next to no gas-specific wells being drilled in this province for most of the past decade. Our domestic gas production is now largely based on associated gas production that comes with oil production. As a result, Saskatchewan went from being a net gas exporter for the period of 1988 to 2009 to a net importer that year.

“As a “smart reactor” the BWRX300 uses natural circulation and passive cooling isolation condenser systems to promote simple and safe operating rhythms. In the global race for advanced nuclear power, the BWRX-300 sets itself apart with its proven, less complicated processes.”

SaskPower said its assessment focused on several key factors including safety, technology readi-

ness, generation size, fuel type and expected cost of electricity. The selection follows an independent and comprehensive assessment process that also included close collaboration with Ontario Power Generation (OPG) and a review by Calian, an independent engineering firm with extensive experience in Canada’s nuclear industry.

“GEH has been selected by Ontario Power Generation (OPG) as the technology partner for the Darlington New Nuclear Project. GEH will work with OPG to deploy a BWRX300 at the Darlington site that could be complete as early as 2028,” GE notes on its website.

“We are excited that SaskPower has chosen our technology as it looks to SMRs for the generation of carbon-free electricity,” said Jay Wileman, president and CEO, GEH, in a release. “We believe the BWRX-300 is an ideal solution for SaskPower and customers that want to make an impact on climate change and energy security in a meaningful timeframe. Decades of design and licensing experience coupled with our proven and existing fuel supply chain position the BWRX-300 as the leading

SMR solution.”

“Today marks the beginning of an exciting relationship between SaskPower and GE-Hitachi, a leader in the nuclear energy field that has the potential to benefit SaskPower and Saskatchewan for many decades to come,” said interim president and CEO at SaskPower, Troy King. “We are committed to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions while providing safe, reliable, and sustainable power for our customers, and GE-Hitachi’s SMR technology could play a powerful role in this future.”

Saskatchewan is currently considering the construction of four small modular reactors in this province, each 300 megawatts in power capacity. The total would almost, but not quite, replace existing coal-fired power generation capacity, if all coal is to be retired. (Boundary Dam Power Station now is rated for 531 megawatts, Shand is 276 and Poplar River is 582 megawatts, for a total of 1,389 megawatts) However, the bulk of that coal retirement is scheduled to take place several years before any nuclear plants are planned to go online.

HOLLYWOOD — “Joker” opened in October 2019, grossed $1.7 billion, received 11 Oscar nominations, won two, including best actor for Joaquin Phoenix , and then silence. Usually when a film is a runaway hit like, say, “Top Gun: Maverick,” sequel talk starts immediately, but there was no sequel talk for “Joker” ... until now!

Director Todd Phillips has written (with Scott Silver) and will direct the sequel, “Joker: Folie a Deux” (a French medical term for a rare mental disorder in which two people share the same delusion). Even though we haven’t heard much from Phoenix, he’s been busy completing “Disappointment Blvd.,” with Parker Posey, Nathan Lane and Patti LuPone, and then immersed himself in creating his “Napoleon,” as directed by Ridley Scott for Apple TV+. Among actors who’ve portrayed Napoleon are Marlon Brando (“Desiree,” 1954), Rod Steiger (“Waterloo,” 1970), Ian Holm (“The Emperor’s New Clothes,” 2001) and Christian Clavier (“Napoleon,” 2002). Joaquin has some mighty big shoes to fill.

Speaking of “Top Gun: Maverick,” there is a big legal dogfight brewing between Paramount Pictures and the Israeli-based widow and son of Ehud Yonay, the man who wrote the original article in California Magazine in 1983 that “Top Gun” was based on. Paramount says the copyright expired after 35 years and it didn’t need to be renewed. It plans to “vigorously fight” because the Yonays believe their copyright was still in effect and want big bucks.

Hats off to Matthew McConaughey for standing up in front of the whole world “As a father, gun owner and a Texan from Uvalde.” McConaughey, who now lives in Austin, called for all Americans to “step up for change in gun responsibility, including enacting background checks, red flag laws and upping the age requirement to 21.” He further added, “I don’t support gun control, I support gun responsibility.”

He took time from making films while he considered running for governor of Texas, but after careful consideration, he reconsidered.
