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 the disruptive new technology of Small Modular Reactors. The
 se presentations will be of interest both to engineers who are not nuclear
  specialists\, and to the general public who are interested in learning ab
 out the technology.\n\nTOPIC:	Planning Future Energy Systems: Do we go nuc
 lear?\nDATE:	April 09\, 2025\nLOCATION:	Online\nPRESENTER:	Dr. Taco Niet\,
  Simon Fraser University\n\nProfessor Taco Niet will discuss how addressin
 g the climate crisis in an equitable and just way will require significant
  policy and infrastructure changes in a short time frame.\n\nIs nuclear po
 wer needed to achieve net-zero carbon emissions?\n\nHow do modelling tools
  allow us to address this question and other related questions?\n\nThis pr
 esentation is free. IEEE members and the general public are welcome to att
 end. Registration is required.\n\nThis presentation series is organized by
