Generation IV small reactors have advanced passive safety features\, are resistant to nuclear proliferation\, have no greenhouse gas emissions\, and are promoted as being economically competitive by lowering cost from mass production. They are suitable for niche and off-grid applications\, as well as a connection to the electric grid as a supply option to provide incremental capacity as needed to match incremental energy demand. The Conference will have distinguished speakers. In addition\, there will be exhibits and booths to showcase your reactor design\, products or services. \nSince George C. Laurence designed one of the world’s first nuclear reactors at the National Research Council (NRC) in Ottawa in 1941\, Canada has built a comprehensive\, mature\, world-renowned nuclear science & technology (S & T) ecosystem in mosaic capabilities serving broad research needs\, within both academia and industry\, and that span across the country and across Canada’s industrial sectors. \nPlease join us in this exciting conference to explore Canadian nuclear S & T capabilities and to participate in discussions on international collaborations\, and to keep up-to-date with the latest research in tackling the challenges to deploy next generation advanced reactors and SMRs. \nYours sincerely\,Daniel Gammage\, 2017-2018 President\, Canadian Nuclear Society. \n\n\n \nCNL is excited to co-host this\, the first\, Generation-IV and Small Reactor (G4SR) Conference. We would like to extend an invitation to colleagues\, partners\, developers and all others interested in the next generation of nuclear technology to join us in Ottawa for the 2018 event. Though it is the first G4SR\, it builds off the strength of technical meetings we have supported for the past several years. Like Canadian Nuclear Laboratories\, this event is transforming and revisiting the interests and needs of its core customers\, and the programming is evolving to address these shifts. \nEarlier this year\, we declared small modular reactors\, commonly referred to as SMRs\, as one of seven strategic initiatives the company intends to pursue as part of its Long-Term Strategy\, with the specific goal of siting an SMR on one of our sites by 2026. We believe in the commercial viability of SMRs\, and it is our vision to serve as a global leader in SMR demonstration\, testing and technology development support. Success in achieving this goal requires the critical connections that will be formed through the dialogue at events such as G4SR. \nThe conference promises an engaging\, and productive two-full days exploring topics critical to the design\, development and deployment of Generation IV and small reactors. It brings together world leaders in technical and non-technical aspects of deployment for discussions relevant not just to Canada but globally. I invite you to join in the conversation. \nDr. Kathy McCarthyVice-President\, Research & Development\, Canadian Nuclear Laboratories \n\n\nMESSAGE FROM THE CO-CHAIRS:\n\n \nWilson Lam\, P.Eng. (Ont)\, Charter Eng. (UK)CNS Division Chair – Generation IV and Small Reactor Technology Senior Advisor\, Nuclear Technology Ontario Ministry of Energy  \nCanadian Nuclear Society (CNS) and Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) are hosting the 1st International Conference on Generation IV and Small Reactors. It is our privilege as the Conference Co-Chairs to present to you our exciting Preliminary Conference Program. \nThe six advanced reactor designs selected for development by the International Generation IV Forum (GIF) are: Gas-cooled Fast Reactor (GFR); Lead-cooled Fast Reactor (LFR); Molten Salt Reactor (MSR); Supercritical Water-cooled Reactor (SCWR); Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (SFR); and Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR). \nSeveral Small Modular Reactor technology developers (whose designs belong to some of the above Generation IV design categories) have recently established themselves in Canada and initiated dialogue with the regulator\, suppliers\, utilities\, governments and potential customers\, for potential development and deployment in Canada. Currently\, ten SMR technology developers have applied for pre-licensing vendor design review (VDR) process with the regulator\, to gain an early assessment of their SMR design. \nBuilding on growing domestic and global interest\, and emerging partnerships among governments and the private sector\, the theme of this International Conference is “Meeting the Challenges to Deploy Next Generation Advanced Reactors and SMRs” in fostering low-carbon energy innovation for Canada and the world. As such\, it will cover the topics of interest to designers\, operators\, researchers\, analysts\, policy makers involved in the design\, development and deployment of Generation IV and small reactors for research and power generation purposes. \nTo start off on Nov. 6\, 2018\, there will be two timely workshops on hot topics: Integrated Safety Assessment Methodology for SMRs\, and Canadian Regulatory Challenges of Gen IV and SMRs\, \n \nDr. Bronwyn HylandProgram Manager\, Small Modular Reactors \nCanadian Nuclear Laboratories delivered by domain experts. The conference (Nov. 7 – 8\, 2018) will have four important plenary sessions delivered in sequence by distinguished Canadian and international speakers\, plus numerous Technical Program Tracks conducted in parallel over the two days\, covering wide spectrum of advanced SMR research and policy topics\, with numerous invited distinguished speakers’ presentations on important topics for SMR development and deployment. \nA technical tour of the Chalk River Laboratories\, hosted by CNL\, will be offered to interested attendees on Friday November 9\, 2018. \nAdvanced SMRs are potential game changing technological innovations which can meet the goals for Generation IV nuclear energy systems on sustainability\, economics\, safety and reliability\, proliferation resistant and physical protection. For the benefits of the society at large\, the SMR innovations can lead to potential large-scale production of hydrogen\, a potential future low-carbon energy source that can provide energy sustainability for the world in replacing gasoline for transportation or natural gas for heating or industrial processes. Just as importantly\, Generation IV advanced reactors can potentially lead to technological innovations on reprocessing or recycling of used nuclear fuel or the use of thorium to power nuclear reactors. As SMR vendors and the industry stakeholders work to advance the SMR technologies from the design concept to laboratory testing\, licensing and on through to deployment\, there will be challenges; G4SR-1 is an international forum for the industry and stakeholders to work together to identify obstacles and opportunities\, and seek solutions through dialogue\, engagement and collaboration. \nThe exciting moment to explore the SMR technological innovations has come. We invite you to submit your research papers\, join the important discussion with your peers at the conference\, and explore the international collaborations in meeting the challenges for future SMR deployments. \n\n  \nSponsorship Opportunities\n\n\n\nPATRON SPONSORSHIP – $3\,000\nGENERAL SPONSORSHIPS\n\n\n\nOpening Evening Reception\n$3\,000\n\n\nConference Banquet\n$5\,000\n\n\nBreakfast Sponsor (2 available)\n$2\,000\n\n\nLuncheon Sponsor (2 available)\n$4\,000\n\n\nRefreshment Breaks (4 available)\n$1\,000\n\n\nExhibits – Table top\n$2\,000\n\n\nBooth / Display Space\nPlease enquire\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsorship and Opportunities Package is available hereContact: roubenb@alum.mit.eduSponsorships of less than the full suggested amount\, or joint sponsorships may be considered; at the full discretion on of the organizing committee.\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\nSponsors & Exhibitors \nThank you to our Sponsors Click on the logos to link to the sponsors’ web sites\n\n\n\n\nHost Sponsor:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBanquet Sponsor:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPatron Sponsors:\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\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nSpecial Sponsors:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nOpening Reception Sponsor:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nWednesday Delegates’ Breakfast:\n\n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nExhibitors:\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 \nChalk River Laboratories (CRL) Tour\nChalk River Laboratories (CRL) Tour hosted by Canadian Nuclear Laboratories:\nAny inquiries related to the CRL Tour can be emailed to Stavros.Corbett@cnl.ca. \nDate: Nov 9 (Friday)\, 2018 Fees: A fee of $30 will be charged to cover transportation costs for the tour.Registration is required.

ISAM accomplishes this by assimilating safety requirements as reactor systems are conceptualised and designed. The methodology is useful not only for the Gen IV technology development cycle but also for the Small Modular Reactor (SMR) concept and design development. \nThere are five main tools in ISAM\, namely\, (1) Qualitative Safety Features Review (QSR)\, (2) Phenomena Identification and Ranking Table (PIRT)\, (3) Objective Provision Tree (OPT)\, (4) Deterministic and Phenomenological Analyses (DPA)\, and (5) Probabilistic Safety Analysis (PSA). Each tool is intended to be used in answering specific safety-related questions in diverse degrees of detail and during different stages of design maturity. The ISAM tools is expected to be used throughout the concept development and design phases to derive insights to influence the course of the design evolution. The application of these tools would yield an objective understanding of risk contributors\, effectiveness of safety-related design provisions\, sources and impacts of uncertainties\, and other safety-related issues that are important for a successful design. The tools also present a measure of design maturity\, in terms of the level of safety and risk associated with the conceptual design relative to safety objectives. \nThe workshop on Integrated Safety Assessment Methodology will introduce ISAM concept\, provide examples of Gen IV advanced reactors applications\, and list some relevant literature for further reading. \nReference: 1.

Outstanding legal issues include: \n\nTransportation and waste storage in relation to sealed cores or modules;\nLiability issues\, safety and emergency response requirements;\nHuman\, machine interfaces\, and site security.\n\nPerhaps one of the biggest looming regulatory challenges is the degree of stakeholder support from nearby communities\, aboriginal groups and other stakeholders. Consultations will be required and there is uncertainty how this will coincide with regulatory approval. \nThis workshop will focus on adequately identifying uncertainties\, building strategies and opportunities to reduce uncertainty\, how uncertainty interfaces with public acceptance and approval and how this can all occur while protecting the environment\, maintaining safety\, and building on public engagement. \nThis workshop will engage participants in break-out discussion groups with understanding the regulatory approval issues\, the identification of uncertainties\, and the public engagement process providing examples of novel communications\, engagement mechanisms\, and public interface models. \nReferences: Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission – DIS-16-04 Small Modular Reactors: Regulatory Strategy\, Approaches and Challenges Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission – What we Heard Report – DIS-16-04 Canadian Nuclear Laboratories\, Perspectives on Canada’s SMR Opportunity\, Summary Report \n  \nStay In Touch – Our Committees\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsorship Questions and Information\nBen Rouben roubenb@alum.mit.edu\n\nCNS Office Administrator\nBob O’SullivanTel: (1) 416-977-7620Email: cns_office@cns-snc.ca\n\n \nPLENARY PROGRAM CHAIR:Wilson Lam\, CNS Division Chair – Gen IV and Small Reactor Technology  \nSenior Advisor\, Nuclear Technology\, Ontario Ministry of Energy\, Northern Development & Mines \n\nTECHNICAL PROGRAM CHAIR: \nDr. Metin Yetisir\,Section Head\, Advanced Reactor Technologies\,Systems and Safety Analysis Branch\,Canadian Nuclear Laboratories\,Adjunct Professor\, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering\, Carleton University \n\nCONFERENCE VENUE & SPONSORSHIP CHAIR\, AND CONFERENCE ADVISOR:Dr. Benjamin Rouben CNS Executive Director\, CNS President 1997-98\n\n \n\nCONFERENCE LOGISTICS CHAIRStavros Corbett R&D Scientist Fuel Performance and EvaluationFuel Development Branch Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) \n\n\nCONFERENCE COMMUNICATION:Philip Kompass\, Corporate Communications\, Canadian Nuclear Laboratories\n \nCONFERENCE WEBMASTER:Elmir Lekovic\, CNS Webmaster\n \nCONFERENCE REGISTRATION:Bob O’Sullivan\, CNS\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Ottawa Branch Event - John C. Fraser
DESCRIPTION:CNS Ottawa Branch Meeting  \nChernobyl Two Day Tour  John C. Fraser \nDate:              Wednesday 7th November 2018 Location:      Montgomery Legion\, Lower Hall                       330 Kent St\, Ottawa\, ON K2P 2A6 (between McLaren & Somerset W.)Time:            6:00 pm         Mix & Mingle\, Cash Bar                      6:30 pm         Hot Buffet Dinner                                               (Roast Beef au jus\, Veg. Pasta\, Sides\, Salad\, Dessert\, Coffee)                      7:30 pm         Talk starts \n Cost:            No charge for CNS members        $20 for non-members \nOn Wednesday 7th November\, the Ottawa Branch of the Canadian Nuclear Society (CNS) is pleased to host a dinner and presentation event. Mr. John Fraser (biography attached) will provide a presentation on his recent visit and tour at the Chernobyl site in Ukraine.   \nUkraine is rich in tradition and history\, yet in many ways it is also quite a modern country. The Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident occurred in 1986\, in the northern part of the country. The accident contaminated a large area\, resulting in the creation of an “exclusion zone” that extends into Belarus. John will share his pictures and insights from the visit\, which include a summary of the accident as well as an update on the new Cover confinement structure that that been installed over the damaged reactor. There are also a number of interesting sites in the exclusion zone that illustrate the present conditions in the area and the radiological conditions of the sites. In total\, the locations visited during the two days provided an interesting retrospective of the accident itself. He also visited the “Duga” Site of a huge abandoned antenna installation that is still not publicly understood. \nJoin us at this fine venue\, greet new colleagues and former colleagues you have not seen for some time\, enjoy a hot meal and what will undoubtedly be an interesting presentation. \nSeating is limited – Please RSVP by Monday Nov. 5. To RSVP and for more information on this event please contact Ken Kirkhope ( ken.kirkhope@canada.ca ). \n ______________________________________________________________________ \n John C. Fraser \nWith over forty years of nuclear power related experience\, the industry still holds an interest for me. \nMy nuclear career included the positions of Shift Supervisor at Douglas Point and the Bruce Site. I was also a turbine and reactor maintenance project engineer. The latter involved the replacement of the “lid” on the Douglas Point reactor. At Bruce B I was the Business Administrator and then Comptroller. I kept an active interest in plant maintenance and operations and maintained my Green Badge Qualification. \nIn 1995 I joined the CNSC as an Examination and Certification officer\, developing written and simulator examinations for the certification of nuclear plant operating staff. Special projects included participating in the oversight of the Pickering ISTB project and certification of staff for refurbishing Bruce Units 1 and 2. \nSince retiring in 2010\, I have tried to keep in touch with the Nuclear Power Program\, which led to the decision to travel to Ukraine and visit the Chernobyl Site. My “exposure” literally and figuratively\, to reactor repairs and refurbishment as well as the Safety Culture in current reactor operation\, has given me a personal appreciation of the Chernobyl reactor accident and the continuing mitigation efforts.
