DESCRIPTION:The [IEEE Vancouver Section](https://vancouver.ieee.ca) and the
  IEEE Future Directions Committee are organizing a series of presentations
  to address the widespread interest in clean energy sources\, new nuclear 
 reactor technologies\, and the various related issues. This series of talk
 s will cover aspects of nuclear energy and the disruptive new technology o
 f Small Modular Reactors. These presentations will be of interest both to 
 engineers who are not nuclear specialists\, and to the general public who 
 are interested in learning about the technology.\n\nTOPIC:	Canadian Journe
 y on Nuclear Energy - from CANDU to Small Modular Reactors\nDATE:	April 23
 \, 2025\nLOCATION:	Online\nPRESENTER:	Dr. Jing Jiang\, University of Weste
 rn Ontario\n\nProfessor Jing Jiang will discuss development of nuclear pow
 er industries in Canada\, and journey through various stages of developmen
 t until the present day of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).\n\nThe presentat
 ion will include a discussion of various types of SMR and Advanced Nuclear
  Reactors (ANRs) technologies\, their development and deployment stages\, 
 and potential advantages and challenges.\n\nThis presentation is free. IEE
