SUMMARY:Howard Shearer - Consequences
DESCRIPTION:Consequences \nSpeaker:                Howard Shearer\, B.Eng. (Electrical) Chief Executive Canada\, Hitachi Canada \nDate/Time:            Jan. 19th\, 12:30 – 1:20 pm. \nLocation:                BSB-136 (Burke Science Building)\, McMaster University. \nCo-hosted with the Engineering Physics Department at McMaster University. Sandwiches\, wraps\, coffee\, and tea will be provided on behalf of the Canadian Nuclear Society’s Golden Horseshoe Branch. \nSummary \nThe Consequences of Decisions One makes in life’s journey have far reaching impacts on Society’s development\, Quality of Life\, as well as a nation’s Capacity to Build Wealth. Are there significant consequences to be borne from choosing a particular discipline? The appearance of multiple disruptive technology solutions is not only a result of frontier Research and Development in one discipline\, but rather the integration of ideas\, achieving multidisciplinary synergies across multiple verticals and in some instances multiple modalities. Silos are an inhospitable environment for success; no longer can one ignore that success can be realized only when the social as well as the technology ecosystem converge from a state of co-existence in a universal tug of war. In the Knowledge economy engineering studies are major catalysts in enabling students to frame the future. One should not impose limits on ambitions\, but instead embrace the foundation engineering studies provide to explore and create disruptive solutions regardless of areas of study. \nBiography \nHoward Lincoln Shearer is the Chief Executive Canada\, Hitachi Canada\, and previously served in the position of Chairman of Hitachi Power Systems Canada Ltd. (April\, 2012 – December 21st\, 2013).  After joining Hitachi Canada Ltd. in 1984\, he rose through the ranks to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer of Hitachi Canada Ltd. (2001-2012) and also served as a member of the board of directors of Hitachi Canada Ltd.\, a position to which he was appointed in 1999. Prior to this\, he served as Vice-President & General Manager of HCL’s Semiconductor division. He is a change agent while being adept at strategy development\, mobilizing\, motivating\, and inspiring multi-discipline\, internal and external executive level teams to major success. Howard is a consensus builder\, with a strong focus on team building. \nHis career spans 39 years in both the High Tech as well as Energy and Industrial sectors resulting in the accumulation of knowledge and experience in the areas of Semiconductors\, Optical transmission\, Power Generation (Coal\, Gas\, Nuclear\, Renewables and Project Execution)\, Transmission & Distribution\, Consumer (wholesale\, retail)\, Rail Transportation\, Medical Healthcare\, IoT (Big Data Analytics) as it relates to Physical Security\, Cyber Security\, Maintenance (Predictive\, Prescriptive\, Preventive)\, Military and other industrial sectors. He has served on Private and Public Sector boards with an understanding of Regulatory\, Compliance and Governance requirements in multiple verticals. \nSandwiches and wraps will be provided along with coffee\, tea\, and water. Vegetarian options will be available (no request necessary). \nPlease contact sharpejr@mcmaster.ca if you have any questions.

SUMMARY:1st International Technical Meeting on Fire Safety and Emergency Preparedness for the Nuclear Industry
DESCRIPTION:Host Sponsor\n \nConference Program\nClick here for the conference program \nObjective\nThe earthquake and tsunami at the Fukushima Nuclear Plant in Japan in March 2011 reinforced the need for comprehensive emergency response capability for highly unlikely radiological events that have the potential to harm the public\, workers\, or the environment.  In the three years since the events at Fukushima\, nuclear facilities in every country have conducted systematic reviews of their readiness to respond to an emergency and capability has been enhanced. Fire protection has always been a major component of nuclear emergency response and reviews continue to provide insights into how these resources can best be deployed to reduce public risk.   \n Many of the lessons learned from the post-Fukushima reviews will be captured in new and revised international standards (WANO\, IAEA) and Canadian regulatory documents (CNSC\, CSA).   The 1st CNS Technical Meeting on Fire Safety and Emergency Preparedness will provide a forum to communicate on challenges presently impacting the nuclear industry and share lessons learned from reviews\, drills\, and major exercises.   \n FSEP-2015 is intended to attract participants from all sectors of the nuclear industry that maintain formal emergency response plans and those municipal\, provincial\, and federal agencies that would provide support during an emergency.  \nCall for Papers\nClick here to download / share the Call for Papers (PDF) document. \nAbstracts\nAbstracts (<250 words) and presentations must be submitted via the submission link.All presentations will be published in a CD to be distributed at the meeting.  The required format of submission is electronic (MSWord or PDF). \nSponsorship and Exhibition Opportunities Package\nClick here to download / share S&E Opportunities Package and forms. \n  \nOur Sponsors\nHost Sponsor: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSilver Sponsor: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsors: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur Exhibitors\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\nClick here to register online. \nNote:  To register as a CNS member\, your membership must be in good standing for 2015. \nAll prices include HST (#870488889 RT)  \n\n\n\n\nRegistering: \n\n\nBy May 1st \n\n\nAfter May 1st \n\n\n\n\nCNS Member \n\n\n$720.00 \n\n\n$820.00 \n\n\n\n\nNon CNS Member \n\n\n$820.00 \n\n\n$920.00 \n\n\n\n\nCNS Retiree Member \n\n\n$400.00 \n\n\n$450.00 \n\n\n\n\nFull-Time Student \n\n\n$400.00 \n\n\n$450.00 \n\n\n\n\nOne-Day Rate Member \n\n\n$410.00 \n\n\n$460.00 \n\n\n\n\nOne-Day Rate Non Member \n\n\n$460.00 \n\n\n$510.00 \n\n\n\n\nFSEP Exhibitor (1 allowed per booth) \n\n\n$0.00 \n\n\n$0.00 \n\n\n\n\n  \nKey Dates\n\n\n\n\nAbstract submission \n\n\n2014 December 30 \n\n\n\n\nAcceptance / author notification \n\n\n2015 January 30 \n\n\n\n\nFinal presentation submission \n\n\n2015 April 30 \n\n\n\n\n  \nTopics of Interest\n\n\n\n\nBusiness Performance and Governance \n\n\nHuman Performance \n\n\nTechnology \n\n\nProcesses and Programs \n\n\n\n\nRegulatory Affairs \n\n\nSuccession Planning \n\n\nCommunication \n\n\nNuclear Safety \n\n\n\n\nCodes & Standards \n\n\nInstructional Systems Development/Training \n\n\nEvent Simulation \n\n\nIntegrating Services \n\n\n\n\nLicense and Laws \n\n\nPersonnel Safety \n\n\nEME \n\n\nFire Prevention \n\n\n\n\nOrganizational Design/Alignment \n\n\nHuman Resources \n\n\nFukushima \n\n\nEngineering Change Control \n\n\n\n\nManagement Oversight \n\n\nLeadership \n\n\nEmerging Technologies \n\n\nBusiness Continuity \n\n\n\n\nVisions of the Future \n\n\nEthics \n\n\nAnalytical Tools \n\n\nRisk Management \n\n\n\n\nStrategies \n\n\nHuman Factors \n\n\nFire Protection Systems \n\n\nOPEX \n\n\n\n\nBusiness Metrics \n\n\nManagement of Performance Systems \n\n\nEmergency Response Equipment \n\n\nAnalysis\, Evaluation and Measurement \n\n\n\n\n  \nTechnical Meeting Organizers\nAdvisory Committee: Don Trylinski (OPG)\, Grant Cherkas (OPG)\, Cheryl McCulloch (Global Safety Corp.)\, Ivan Bolliger (CNSC)\, Jacques Plourde (Nuclear Insurance Assoc. of Canada)\, Jeremy Whitlock (CNL)\, Shahina Kurien (Bruce Power)\, Dan McArthur (Bruce Power)\,Doug Tennant (Deep River FD)\, Robert Elliott (Bruce Power)\, Scott Robertson (NB Power)\, Ben Rouben (CNS) \n\n\n\n\nHonorary Chair \n\n\nGreg Rzentkowski (CNSC) \n\n\n\n\nGeneral Chair \n\n\nTracy Lapping (CNL) \n\n\n\n\nTechnical Program Chair (Fire Safety) \n\n\nRudy Cronk (PLC Fire) \n\n\n\n\nTechnical Program Chair (Emergency Preparedness) \n\n\nGarry Fowles \n\n\n\n\n  \nAccommodations \nHilton Mississauga/Meadowvale \nBook your room online for special conference rates. \n
