SUMMARY:Coming Soon: CNS Western Branch Webinar with Christopher Rees
DESCRIPTION:Reminder! This Wednesday: CNS Western Branch WebinarCNS Western Branch invites you to participate in the following virtual presentation:Title: The Evolution of Safety Analysis (Cases) – Enhancing Risk Mitigation in the Nuclear IndustryWhen: Wednesday\, February 21st at 12:00pm – 1:00pm ETSpeaker: Christopher Rees\, Principal Consultant for Nuclear Safety at Risktec SolutionsWhere: VirtualSummary: This presentation delves into the history and role of safety analysis (cases) in the Canadian nuclear industry. It explores the origin and evolution of safety cases\, and their significance in ensuring robust risk mitigation\, setting operational constraints and limits\, for nuclear sites. We highlight the importance of safety cases for not simply ensuring regulatory compliance\, but also the highest standard of risk mitigation and being a truly live document rather than being hidden away in a draw. The audience will see examples of worldwide safety cases\, gain knowledge on industry best practice as well as potential directions and evolution of safety cases in the future.Registration: Registration is free but required; we welcome CNS members\, students and interested members of the broader community.Register Now!

DESCRIPTION:Speaker:   Christopher Rees\, Principal Consultant for Nuclear Safety at Risktec Solutions \n\n\n\nSummary:  This presentation delves into the history and role of safety analysis (cases) in the Canadian nuclear industry. It explorers the origin and evolution of safety cases\, and their significance in ensuring robust risk mitigation\, setting operational constraints and limits\, for nuclear sites.  We highlight the importance of safety cases for not simply ensuring regulatory compliance\, but also the highest standard of risk mitigation and being a truly live document rather than being hidden away in a draw. The audience will see examples of worldwide safety cases\, gain knowledge on industry best practice as well as potential directions and evolution of safety cases in the future. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Evolution of Safety Analysis Cases – Video Conference Recording

SUMMARY:Next Week: Register Now! Intelligence Update with Jeremy Whitlock
DESCRIPTION:Next Week!Intelligence Update with Jeremy WhitlockAbout Jeremy: Since 2017 at the IAEA in Vienna\, currently as Senior Technical Advisor\, IAEA Dept. of Safeguards\, with responsibility for the IAEA’s ‘safeguards by design’ programme – i.e.\, readiness for SMRs and other emerging nuclear technologies.22 years at AECL/CNL – reactor physicist 1994-2006\, manager of non-proliferation and safeguards programme 2006-2016.PhD and MEng from McMaster (Engineering Physics – reactor physics)\, BSc from Waterloo (physics)In our intelligence update with Olivier Gregoire of Moltex we learned all about how their technology would address the proliferation issue. There were many questions about proliferation control and the international Safeguard’s program that we did not have the time nor the expertise to answer.  As it happens\, a good friend  and active member of the Canadian Nuclear Society\, Jeremy Whitlock\, is presently at the IAEA in Vienna\, where he is a Senior Technical Advisor in the Department of Safeguards\, so I asked him if he would tell us all about it and he agreed. So if you want to learn all about the Safeguard’s program\, its impact on Canada and how Small Modular Reactors will fit in then please join us in conversation on: Tuesday February 13th\, from 11:00am-12:00pm.Please note the earlier start is to accommodate Jeremy whose day begins much earlier than ours.Register Now!

SUMMARY:Intelligence Update with Olivier Gregoire
DESCRIPTION:Some recent media coverage has suggested that any reprocessing of used nuclear fuel is a gateway to weapons production and that by even considering the Moltex project\, Canada may increase the risk of proliferation. But will it? And is what Moltex planning reprocessing anyway? \n\n\n\nJoin Olivier Gregoire\, Moltex’s Nuclear Security & Safeguards Officer\, in a discussion with Neil Alexander on Wednesday\, December 13th\, from 12:00pm – 1:00pm to establish what exactly Moltex intends to do and explore the proliferation concerns. \n\n\n\nWhere: Virtual \n\n\n\nThis Intelligence Update session is free and is open to anyone! \n\n\n\n\nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Lunch\, learn and chat
DESCRIPTION:Hot on the heels of their successful campaign to have the future of Pickering reconsidered Canadians for Nuclear Energy (C4NE) kicked off a campaign to build 10 new CANDUs with the release of a report. \n\n\n\nJoin me and Chris Keefer\, the leader of C4NE for a lunch\, learn and chat on Wednesday\, June 14\, from 12:00-1:00pm.  Chris will tell us what is in the report and how the campaign will roll out from here and I will ask important questions like what is C4NE and what motivates a physician to run these campaigns while I simultaneously scan the chat for your questions so that I can put those to him as well.  \n\n\n\nIt’s a discussion that’s designed for CNS members but its open to your friends\, neighbours and anyone that you think might be interested.  Please free to invite them all. \n\n\n\nRegistration coming soon.

SUMMARY:The Deep Geologic Repository – Why it is important and what you can do to help. A lunch and learn with the Nuclear Waste Management Organization
DESCRIPTION:In 2024 the NWMO will select a site for a Deep Geologic Repository\, an enormous step forward for Canada’s plan to dispose of Used Nuclear Fuel. It’s an important project for the industry\, and Laurie Swami\, President of the NWMO has asked for our help. \n\n\n\nBut what is the project\, how is it progressing\, what are the challenges\, and how can we all help? Join us on May 23 rd 2023\, from 12:00pm – 1:00pm for a virtual lunch and learn provided by the NWMO\, in which they will answer those questions and any other questions you may have. Hosted by Neil Alexander and presented by Mark Gobien of the NWMO\, this is your opportunity to get a full update on the project. \n\n\n\nThis event is free to CNS members and to the public. Please join us for the event and invite any colleagues\, friends or members of your community that you think would benefit from learning about this project. You can join the event using this link. \n\n\n\nThe Canadian Nuclear Society is an independent\, not for profit\, scientific society of individuals with an interest in nuclear power in Canada\, with the objective of promoting the exchange of technical information on all aspects of nuclear science and technology and its applications. \n\n\n\nThe Nuclear Waste Management Organization is responsible for designing and implementing Canada’s plan for the safe\, long-term management of used nuclear fuel. The plan\, known as Adaptive Phased Management\, requires used fuel to be contained and isolated in a deep geological repository. It also calls for a comprehensive process to select a site with informed and willing hosts for the project. Mark Gobien is the Section Manager\, Safety Assessment Models in the Safety and Technical Research department at the Nuclear Waste Management Organization. He holds a BSc in Physics from Queen’s University and in 2018\, attended the World Nuclear University Summer Institute program in South Korea. Mark has 15 years of experience at the NWMO conducting postclosure safety assessments\, developing safety assessment tools and models\, and managing technical work programs. Currently\, he is the project lead developing a next-generation system model for postclosure safety assessments.
