Both smaller in size and in energy output\, SMRs are considered idea l for deployment both on-grid and off-grid in remote locations such as min e sites or the oil sands\, as well as willing communities in northern Cana da reliant on diesel-fuelled generators for electricity. In addition\, the se technologies can also be utilized in other industrial applications such as production of hydrogen\, local area heating\, or other industrial heat applications. Currently\, SMRs are an emerging technology. There are a wi de variety of designs being developed by multiple prospective reactor vend ors\, each working hard to bring their technology to market\n\nThis webina r will provide participants with an introduction to SMRs\, covering the fu ndamental features of the technology\, and an overview of the most popular designs proposed to date. The webinar will also include a discussion on t he economics of SMRs – how they are expected to compete in the global en ergy market\, and what conditions could make them successful in the future . Join two renowned researchers from Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) – Canada’s premier nuclear nuclear science and technology organization \, for an engaging discussion on this exciting new set of technologies.\n- --------------------------------------------------------------\n\nPresente rs:\n\nDr. Metin Yetisir is a Principal Scientist at Canadian Nuclear Labo ratories (CNL). He has been involved in various research activities relate d to nuclear industry for over 30 years. Metin received his Masters and Ph D degrees from McMaster University\, Hamilton\, Ontario\, in Mechanical En gineering. After two years at Hatch Associates as a thermalhydraulics spec ialist\, he joined Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) at Chalk River L aboratories. He has since worked at AECL (now CNL) at various capacities o n steam generators\, feeder cracking\, fatigue of Class I piping\, heat tr ansfer degradation of CANDU primary heat transport system\, small modular reactors (SMR) and advanced reactors. More recently\, Dr. Yetisir played a key role in developing Canada’s Generation IV supercritical water-coole d reactor concept and holds three patents on the core design of the Canadi an SCWR. He was the technical lead of CNL’s Small Modular Reactors progr am from 2013 to 2017\, acted as the Advanced Reactors Program Manager\, pr ovided input in developing CNL’s S&T programs on small modular reactors (SMR) and represented Canada in international (IAEA and GIF) meetings on a dvanced reactors and SMRs. Metin has been a key member of the organising c ommittees of a number of conferences on small and advanced reactors\, incl uding the International Generation IV and Small Reactors Conference\, the Canadian Nuclear Society (CNS) Annual conference and the Pacific Basin Nuc lear Conference. For his contributions to nuclear industry in Canada and t o CNS\, he is named to be a “Fellow of Canadian Nuclear Society” in 20 20. Metin authored more than 70 conference papers\, 11 journal papers and has 4 patents related to nuclear reactors and components. He was featured in [Titans of Nuclear podcast](https://www.titansofnuclear.com/experts/Met inYetisir) and authored the “SMRs: The Case of Canada” chapter of the second edition of [Handbook of Small Modular Nuclear Reactors](https://www .elsevier.com/books/handbook-of-small-modular-nuclear-reactors/carelli/978 -0-12-823916-2).\n\nDenys Elliot graduated from the University of Waterloo with a Masters in Political Economics in 2015. In 2016 he joined Canadian Nuclear Laboratories as a member of the Business Development team. In ear ly 2020\, Denys took over the role of Commercial Lead for CNL’s Small Mo dular Reactor (SMR) Program. In this role\, Denys serves as the primary po int of contact between CNL and SMR vendors for the establishment of commer cial research and development contracts that advance SMR technologies towa rds deployment. Denys is also responsible for the administration of CNL’ s Canadian Nuclear Research Initiative - a CNL program to support collabor ative Advanced Reactor (AR) research projects with third-party proponents in Canada. The goal of the program is to accelerate the deployment of safe \, secure\, clean\, and cost effective ARs in Canada. Denys is a long-time supporter of nuclear energy\, and was a founding committee member of the North American Young Generation in Nuclear (NAYGN) Chalk River Chapter. De nys currently serves as the Advocacy and Education Chair for NAYGN Chalk R iver\, organizing social events\, webinars\, and conferences on a variety of topics within the nuclear energy industry.\n\nMegan Moore began working for Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (formally Atomic Energy Of Canada Ltd) in 2013. As an Operations Research Analyst she has tackled a wide variety of projects\; developing expertise in nuclear economics\, hybrid energy sy stems and nuclear fuel cycles. Megan is currently a co-chair of the Genera tion IV International Forum Economic and Modelling Working Group\, and con tinues to study Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) to better understand the pot ential impact of SMRs in Canada\, focusing on economics and sustainability . Currently Megan is leading several projects\, including one that is stud ying how nuclear reactors could be integrated with renewable energy source s such as wind and solar\, in a hybrid energy system\, to improve access t o clean energy for residential and industrial applications.\n------------- --------------------------------------------------\n\n"Fine Print"\n\n- Th e webinar is free for active IEEE members.\n- There is a $5 registration f ee for people who are not active IEEE members.\n\n- The fee must be paid i n advance through the registration process below (credit card through PayP al) in order to receive the link to the webinar.\n- Upon successful paymen t of the fee\, you will receive 2 emails: one from noreply_vtools@ieee.org with title "IEEE vTools Reservation Confirmation\," and a second from ser vice@intl.paypal.com with title "Your payment to The Institute of Electric al and Electronics Engineers\, Inc."
