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:	Nuclear Propuls
 ion for Merchant Shipping\nDATE:	June 4\, 2025\nLOCATION:	Online\nPRESENTE
 R:	Dr. Jan Emblemsvåg\n\nDr. Jan Emblemsvåg will discuss will discuss wh
 y we must develop nuclear propulsion for merchant shipping\, which criteri
 a we have used to select the most promising reactor types\, which reactor 
 technologies we have selected and what the current status is.\n\nThis pres
 entation is free. IEEE members and the general public are welcome to atten
 d. Registration is required.\n\nThis presentation series is organized by:\
