David’s Senior Portraits

, ,

Senior portrait session with David Andes photographed Wednesday, October 26, 2016. I don’t seek out senior portraits, but a good friend sought me out to do her son’s senior portraits and I couldn’t say no – especially since he was an expert Fencer and I knew it would make great images.

2nd Annual Komen Athens Race for the Cure®

, ,

The 2nd Annual Komen Athens Race for the Cure® photographed Sunday, October 23, 2016 on the Ohio University Campus in Athens, Ohio.

Honorary co-chairs of the event are both breast cancer survivors. Mary Dupler, a single mother from Somerset, Ohio who has been cancer free for one-year and Cindy Oremus who battled the disease four times but has been cancer free for the past 16 years.

Both women tshared their experiences with breast cancer and their dedication to the Race for the Cure to raise awareness, research dollars and support for other cancer victims.

Julie McMahon who is Director of Mission at Komen Columbus talked about the organization’s cancer fighting efforts in 30 Ohio Counties.

This year $1.46 million was donated to 21 programs in the service area and 11 of those program served southeast Ohio, according to McMahon.

Southeast Ohio has one-third of the diagnoses and deaths for breast cancer in the 30 county area serviced by Komen and a higher death rate than the rest of the country, McMahon says.

Last year, Athens was the only spot in the country for a new Komen race.

Komen has delivered almost $1.1 million in services through the Ohio University Healthy Adult Project, Holzer, O’Bleness Hospital, Marietta Memorial, Genesis, Adena, Southern Ohio Medical Center, Southeastern Ohio Regional Medical Center and local health departments in Vinton, Perry and Hocking counties.

Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station

, , ,

The Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station photographed Sunday August 21, 2016.

The Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station is a decommissioned nuclear power plant built by the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) in Herald, California.

In 1966, SMUD purchased 2,100 acres (850 ha) in southeast Sacramento County for a nuclear power plant, which was built in Herald, 25 miles (40 km) south-east of downtown Sacramento.

In the early 1970s, a small pond was expanded to a 160-acre (65 ha) lake to serve as an emergency backup water supply for the station. The lake has always received its water from the Folsom South Canal and has no relationship with the power plant’s daily water supply. Surrounding the lake is 400 acres (160 ha) of recreational area originally operated by the County of Sacramento for day-use activities.

The 2,772 MWt Babcock & Wilcox pressurized water reactor (913 MWe) achieved initial criticality on 16 September 1974 and entered commercial operation on 17 April 1975.

On 20 March 1978 a failure of power supply for the plant’s non-nuclear instrumentation system led to steam generator dryout. (ref NRC LER 312/78-001). In an ongoing study of “precursors” that could lead to a nuclear disaster if additional failures were to have occurred, in 2005 the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission concluded that this event at Rancho Seco was the third most serious safety-related occurrence in the United States (Behind the Three Mile Island accident and the cable tray fire at Browns Ferry).

The plant operated from April 1975 to June 1989 but had a lifetime capacity average of only 39%; it was closed by public vote on 7 June 1989 (despite the fact that its operating license did not expire until 11 October 2008) after multiple referendums.

Operation of the recreational area was assumed by SMUD in 1992. In cooperation with the Nature Conservancy, SMUD dedicated in June 2006 the Howard Ranch Nature Trail, a seven-mile (11 km) long trail that follows riparian and marsh habitat along Rancho Seco Lake and the adjoining Howard Ranch that once belonged to the owner of the famous racehorse Seabiscuit.

All power generating equipment has been removed from the plant and the now-empty cooling towers remain a prominent part of the local landscape. Also scattered throughout the area around the plant are abandoned air raid sirens that at one time would have warned people of a radioactivity release from the station. Additions to SMUD’s Rancho Seco property have included massive solar installations and, more recently, the natural gas-fired Cosumnes Power Plant, brought online in 2006.

On 23 October 2009, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission released the majority of the site for unrestricted public use, while approximately 11 acres (4.5 ha) of land including a storage building for low-level radioactive waste and a dry-cask spent fuel storage facility remain under NRC licenses. The plant cost $375 million when it was built in 1974 and it cost about $120 million (in 1974 dollars) to decommission according to the SMUD Rancho Seco Nuclear Education Center.
