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:	Small Reactors:
  Prospects and Challenges\nDATE:	May 14\, 2025\nLOCATION:	Online\nPRESENTE
 R:	Dr. Esam Hussein\n\nDr. Esam Hussein will discuss several types of smal
 l reactors and microreactors. He will review the promises and hurdles of m
 odular reactor designs\, manufacturing and construction. Inherent and pass
 ive safety features of these reactors will also be examined.\n\nThis prese
 ntation is free. IEEE members and the general public are welcome to attend
 . Registration is required.\n\nThis presentation series is organized by:\n
 \n- [IEEE Future Directions Committee\, IEEE Sustech Initiative](https://i
