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:	IAEA Safeguards
 : preparing for small modular reactors (SMRs)\nDATE:	May 7\, 2025\nLOCATIO
 N:	Online\nPRESENTER:	Dr. Jeremy Whitlock\, Consultant (IAEA ret&#39;d)\n\nDr.
  Jeremy Whitlock will discuss the challenge of safeguarding Small Modular 
 Reactors (SMRs)\, and how the IAEA is preparing for this – a key element
  of its mandate to support safe\, secure\, and peaceful nuclear expansion.
