The (https://vancouver.ieee.ca) and the IEEE Future Directions Committee are organizing a series of presentations to address the widespread interest in clean energy sources, new nuclear reactor technologies, and the various related issues. This series of talks will cover aspects of nuclear energy and the disruptive new technology of Small Modular Reactors. These presentations will be of interest both to engineers who are not nuclear specialists, and to the general public who are interested in learning about the technology. TOPIC: Nuclear Propulsion for Merchant Shipping DATE: June 4, 2025 LOCATION: Online PRESENTER: Dr. Jan Emblemsvåg Dr. Jan Emblemsvåg will discuss will discuss why we must develop nuclear propulsion for merchant shipping, which criteria we have used to select the most promising reactor types, which reactor technologies we have selected and what the current status is. This presentation is free. IEEE members and the general public are welcome to attend. Registration is required.
