Husband-and-wife Jennifer Corio and Dave Frei worked in the high-tech world of Hewlett Packard. A simple smile brought the two together. But it was their love for complex design that drew them out of the office and into the world of public art.

In need of funds, proponents of a nuclear project ask Washington utilities to chip in. Discussions surrounding potential nuclear projects are making the rounds in Washington as the state works to completely phase out carbon-emitting energy resources, and now talks have landed in Clark County. Energy Northwest invited Clark Public Utilities to participate in a feasibility study on its proposed small nuclear reactor development in Richland. The agency is considering creating four to 12 modular reactors, projected to generate 320 to 960 megawatts of power — less than its existing Columbia Generating Station, which has a capacity of 1,200 megawatts. During a Clark Public Utilities Board of Commissioners meeting in May, Energy Northwest representatives sought $200,000 of ratepayer funds for the study, which is projected to cost $4 million. The body did not approve the request, as its three-member vote was split. By contributing, the utility would receive information obtained through the study, as well as gain priority status in the facility’s future power sale agreements, should it be built.
