Boise Metro Rotary Bulletin January 31, 2021 (Jan 31, 2021)

Leave it as it is. You cannot improve on it. The ages have been at work on it, and man can only mar it. What you can do is to keep it for your children, your children’s children, and for all who come after you, as the one sight which every American should see.

THIS WEEK - MODULAR NUCLEAR REACTORS

NuScale Power is developing a new kind of nuclear reactor they believe will be safer, smaller and cheaper than current reactors. Idaho Falls Power is hoping to take advantage of the new reactors once the first one goes online.

Last week, NuScale Power Senior Reactor Operator Michael Downs and Idaho Falls Power General Manager Bear Prairie explained what NuScale Power’s Small Modular Reactors are, why Idaho Falls Power wants one and the plan to build the first one in just a few years.

“What we’re trying to do at NuScale is basically bring energy to the world,” Downs said.

Help assemble snack bags for our Community School Coordinators to distribute to Homeless and Low-Income Students. This includes our own Garfield Elementary students!

You can even drop off the snack bags with the reception desk in the ground floor lobby of the Boise Plaza 1111 West Jefferson Street. Please plan to drop off completed bags by February 9^th.

For those who want to do the assembly project with fellow Rotarians … we will be gathering at the conference room in Will‘s office on the 5^th Floor of the Boise Plaza. Join us starting at 12 Noon on February 9th. Please wear a mask and respect social distancing protocols in the building. We will have people spaced 6 feet apart in the conference room.
