The effects of the pandemic on relationships
SHELLIE SMITLEY
thetruecitizen.shellie@gmail.com
Although much has been said
about the effect of COVID-19
on children’s academics, kids
were not the only ones feeling
the pressure.
The unprecedented circum
stances surrounding the pan
demic provided a space for
relationship science. Some
of the research connected to
dealing with social distancing
and the medical crisis resulted
in obvious effects, however
some of the bndings may be a
bit more surprising.
Vogtle
Health workers needed sup
portive spouses, video chatting
with friends helped alleviate
feelings of loneliness and col
lege couples who were dating
grew apart, according to an ar
ticle written in a special edition
of Time published this summer.
Less anticipated results in
volved working from home and
school closures, which created
a shift back toward traditional
gender roles in heterosexual
relationships.
“While both men and women
recognized the situation was
imbalanced, it only led to
relationship dissatisfaction
today and for decades to come.”
The issuance of the 103(g)
bnding follows years of dili
gent and careful work by the
team at the site to submit
documentation that Unit 3 has
satisbed 398 required inspec
tions, tests, analyses and ac
ceptance criteria (ITAACs) as
outlined in Southern Nuclear’s
Combined License - helping
ensure the unit meets strict
nuclear safety and quality
standards. The process was
completed July 29, and the
NRC conducted a thorough
review process of each submis
sion and targeted inspections of
the facility before issuing the
103(g) finding. As required by
the NRC, each ITAAC had to
be verified before fuel load and
operations. The team at the site
continues working diligently
to make final preparations for
Unit 3 fuel load, initiate startup
testing and bring the unit on
line. Over the next several
weeks, well-trained and highly
qualified nuclear technicians
will continue required work to
support loading fuel, which is
already onsite, into the unit’s
reactor. This will be followed
by several months of startup
testing and operations. Startup
testing is designed to demon
strate the integrated operation
of the primary coolant system
and steam supply system at de
sign temperature and pressure
with fuel inside the reactor.
Operators will also bring the
plant from cold shutdown to
initial criticality, synchronize
the Unit to the grid and system
atically raise power to 100%.
The two new units at Plant
Vogtle are expected to power
more than 500,000 homes and
businesses. Additionally, the
new units will be clean energy
sources that produce zero air
pollution.
Vogtle Unit 4 remains under
construction.

PUBLIC NOTICE
The Housing Authority of the City of Louisville will
conduct a Public Hearing to discuss the Agency An
nual Plan and Five Year Plan as established by the
Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of
1998. The purpose and goals will be explained and
the Housing Authority will receive comments from
all interested parties. This public hearing will be
conducted on Wednesday, October 5, 2022 at 12:00
PM at the Housing Authority Office located on Nelm
Street in Louisville, Georgia. All interested parties
are invited and encouraged to attend this meeting.
among the women, unless the
men were doing a lot of child
care,” researchers out of New
Zealand reported. “That is, the
men could see the burden was
being unevenly carried but it
didn’t bother them.”
Concern pertaining to the
virus motivated single adults
to more actively seek part
ners. Although research indi
cates that they did not lower
their standards, not even about
looks, people who experienced
greater difficulty adjusting to
digital forms of communica
tion were more likely to violate
social distancing protocols.
