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:\nMicro-Nuclear 
 Energy: A National Strategic Technology Imperative to Secure Canada’s Ar
 ctic Sovereignty\n\nDATE:	June 18\, 2025\nLOCATION:	Online\nPRESENTER:	Mr.
  Peter Lang\n\nMr. Peter Lang will address the increasing threat to the so
 vereignty of Canada’s arctic borders\, and examine the critical role tha
 t energy plays in implementing sovereignty enhancing measures. Micro-nucle
 ar energy plants offer an enduring\, zero-emissions energy solution to mee
 t the unique energy requirements of our Arctic military and civilian commu
 nities for decades to come.\n\nThis presentation is free. IEEE members and
  the general public are welcome to attend. Registration is required.\n\nTh
