DESCRIPTION:The IEEE Vancouver Section and the IEEE Future Directions Commi
 ttee are organizing a series of presentations to address the widespread in
 terest in clean energy sources\, new nuclear reactor technologies\, and th
 e various related issues. This series of talks will cover aspects of nucle
 ar energy and include discussions on technology\, safety\, reliability\, a
 nd environmental impact – while addressing the widespread misconceptions
  and misinformation that have persisted for decades. These presentations w
 ill be of interest both to engineers who are not nuclear specialists\, and
  to the general public who are interested in learning about the technology
