The challenges require expertise and innovative ideas found not only in the sciences\, but also the fields of engineering\, economics\, and social sciences. \n\n\n\nFusion has the potential of providing large amounts of low carbon energy\, which will also impact Canada’s natural resource industries\, particularly Western Canada’s petroleum industry. It is argued that the emergence of fusion energy will support the transformation Canada’s petroleum industry from an energy industry into a materials industry. \n\n\n\nFusion energy development and deployment are massive undertakings that can only be achieved through international collaboration. Canada currently does not have a major presence in such collaborations. Specifically\, Canada is not participating in ITER\, the large multi-national fusion initiative in France. However\, a cooperation agreement between ITER and the Government of Canada was signed in 2021 thereby creating the foundation for cooperation with ITER. The importance to Canada of this and similar initiatives will be outlined\, together with the role of the Fusion Energy Council of Canada. \n\n\n\nBio Sketch \n\n\n\nDr. Axel Meisen was elected President of the Fusion Energy Council of Canada (FECC) in September 2021. In addition to his duties as FECC President\, he currently advises boards and senior management in Canada and abroad on strategy development of major initiatives with long-term time horizons. \n\n\n\nHe held the inaugural Chair in Foresight at the Alberta Research Council\, after serving as president of Memorial University of Newfoundland\, president of the Canadian Commission for UNESCO\, and Dean of Applied Science and Professor of Chemical Engineering at The University of British Columbia. He was appointed to the Order of Canada in 2008 and he is a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering. \n\n\n\nHe has B.Sc.\, M.Sc.\, and Ph.D. degrees in Chemical Engineering from Imperial College London\, California Institute of Technology\, and McGill University\, respectively. \n\n\n\n\nClick Here to Register URL:http://15.223.132.57/event/cns-wester-branch-webinar-nuclear-fusion-canadian-perspectives-challenges-and-opportunities/ CATEGORIES:Branch and Other Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20220315T160000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20220315T170000 DTSTAMP:20260406T130743 CREATED:20220314T201810Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220314T201821Z UID:3026-1647360000-1647363600@15.223.132.57 SUMMARY:CNS Sheridan Park Branch - Career Planning and Emerging Trends for Engineers in the Nuclear Industry DESCRIPTION:Title:   Career Planning and Emerging Trends for Engineers in the Nuclear Industry \n\n\n\nDate/time:   Tuesday March 15\, 2022\,  4:00 PM to 5:00 PM \n\n\n\nSpeaker:   Ruben Oris Valiente\,  Vice-President\, Nuclear Steam Plant Engineering\, SNC-Lavalin \n\n\n\nSummary:   The presentation’s objective is to provide a contemporary\, albeit personal\, look at opportunities and potential career paths available to engineers in the nuclear industry\, how to take ownership and how not to be taken aback by emerging events and trends.

Please monitor this website for updates. \n  \nThe Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (OECD-NEA) proposes to hold a seminar for transferring competence\, knowledge and experience gained through CSNI activities in the field of thermal-hydraulics. The seminar organisation will build on the experience gained with the THICKET seminars conducted in the thermal-hydraulic area in 2004\, 2008\, 2012\, and 2016. \nThe seminar will be organised jointly by the Canadian Nuclear Society and the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and supported by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. The seminar programme is attached. \nObjective of the Seminar\nThe objective of the seminar is transferring knowledge acquired through various CSNI activities to specialists unfamiliar with CSNI activities and to newcomers to the field. The knowledge\, competence and experience acquired from activities carried out in the framework of CSNI during the last two decades\, through activities such as State-of-the-Art Reports\, Computer Code Validation Matrices\, investigations on user effects\, studies on uncertainty methods\, International Standard Problem exercises\, specialist workshops\, etc. will be provided through lectures by internationally recognised CSNI experts.  Managers and research planners would also benefit from attending the seminar. Relative to previous THICKET courses\, the course content has been updated with recent activities [e.g.\, Best-estimate Methods Uncertainty and Sensitivity Evaluation (BEMUSE and PREMIUM)\, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) including the Best Practice Guidelines and related benchmarks\, the Safety Margin Assessment and Application (SM2A) and Spent Fuel Pool accident activity] as well as new developments from thermal-hydraulic OECD Projects. \nExpected benefits: \n\nMost achievements of the CSNI are documented in dispersed reports that may not provide a coherent overall picture of current technology.  Moreover\, some CSNI reports have not received a wide distribution.\n\n\nThe Seminar will provide good transfer of knowledge summarised in CSNI documents to a wide nuclear safety community.\n\n\nIt will provide good transfer of experience and know-how from recognised experts who have been associated with CSNI activities since a long time. \nIt will contribute to maintaining and increasing competencies\, and to ensuring sustainable development of nuclear safety technology.\n\n  \nAccommodations & Venue\nTHICKET-2020 will be held in: \nSNC Lavalin Candu\, SP1 building2251 Speakman Dr.\, Mississauga\, ONCanada L5K 1B1Phone: 905-823-9040 \n\nHoliday Inn Express & Suites Mississauga – Toronto Southwest\, 3-star hotel\, 2125 N Sheridan Way\, Mississauga\, ON L5K 1A3\, Phone: (905) 855-2000\, web: https://www.ihg.com/holidayinnexpress/hotels/us/en/mississauga/msgca/hoteldetail\nHampton Inn by Hilton Toronto-Mississauga West\, 3-star hotel\, 2085 N Sheridan Way\, Mississauga\, ON L5K 2T\, Phone: (905) 823-8600\, web: https://hamptoninn3.hilton.com/en/hotels/ontario/hampton-inn-by-hilton-toronto-mississauga-west-XOKCNHX/index.html\nAdmiral Inn & Suites\, 3-star hotel\, 2161 N Sheridan Way\, Mississauga\, ON L5K 1A3\, Phone: (905) 403-9777\, web: https://www.admiralinn.com/mississauga/\n\nThe location of the hotels in relation to the venue is shown in the map below.  The farthest hotel (Hampton Inn by Hilton Toronto-Mississauga West) is 1.3 km away\, within 16 minutes walking distance.  There is “Go Train” service between downtown Toronto and the three hotels given above.  For details of these train services and to plan your trip to downtown Toronto\, please visit https://www.gotransit.com/ \n \nMid-May to late June is a great time to visit Canada!
