DESCRIPTION:During this seminar\, the invited speaker will give a presentat
 ion titled "Small Modular Reactors: An Overview\, Implications for Alberta
 \, and Research on BWR-Based SMR Systems". Please see the abstract below:\
 n\nSmall Modular Reactors (SMRs) are emerging as a promising nuclear energ
 y technology that could provide reliable\, low-carbon\, and flexible energ
 y for a range of electricity and industrial applications. Their smaller si
 ze\, modular design\, and potential for flexible deployment have generated
  significant interest as countries explore pathways toward energy security
  and decarbonization.\n\nThis presentation provides an overview of SMR tec
 hnology\, including key characteristics\, reactor concepts and potential b
 enefits. It will then examine the potential implications of SMRs for Alber
 ta\, with particular emphasis on their role in supporting reliable energy 
 supply\, industrial applications\, and the decarbonization of energy-inten
 sive sectors.\n\nThe presentation will also highlight research being condu
 cted at the University of Alberta on advanced nuclear energy systems. In p
 articular\, the research focuses on a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR)-based SM
 R and the development of a detailed non-linear digital-twin. The digital-t
 win provides a virtual representation of the reactor system and can be use
 d to investigate system performance and its potential integration with eme
 rging energy applications. The presentation will conclude by discussing th
 e opportunities and challenges associated with advancing SMR technologies 
 and their potential role in the future energy landscape in Alberta.\n\nCo-
