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:Update on Small Modular Reactors - Development\, Deployment and Regulation
DESCRIPTION:Update on Small Modular Reactors – Development\, Deployment and Regulation –\nMarcel De Vos and Kevin LeeCanadian Nuclear Safety Commission\nDate:          Monday 30th January 2017 \nLocation:   The Royal Canadian Air Force Officers’ Mess                  158 Gloucester St.\, Ottawa (between Bank and O’Connor) \n Time:        6:30 pm     Cash bar opens for mix & mingle                  7:00 pm     Talk starts \nOn Monday 30th January\, the Ottawa Branch of the Canadian Nuclear Society (CNS) is pleased to host a presentation by Messrs. Marcel De Vos and Kevin Lee\, Senior Project Officers\, New Major Facilities Licensing Division at the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.    \nOver the past several years\, many technology developers have expressed interest in the construction and operation of SMRs in Canada. Consequently\, the CNSC has been looking into the nuclear regulatory and licensing implications challenges for SMR-related activities.  In 2016\, the CNSC invited comments on a discussion paper DIS-16-04\, “Small Modular Reactors: Regulatory Strategy\, Approaches and Challenges”. Messrs. De Vos and Lee will provide an overview of the CNSC SMR discussion paper\, the Vendor Pre-Project Design Review projects at the CNSC\, some key international SMR activities\, and paths forward and future follow-ups to the Commission. \nJoin us at this fine venue\, greet new colleagues and former colleagues you have not seen for some time\, and join in what will undoubtedly be an interesting discussion period. \nBoth CNS members and non-members are welcome (there is no fee for admission). \nFor more information on this event please contact Wei Shen ( wei.shen@canada.ca ).
