Innovation in Nuclear

Join the EA Sydney Division Nuclear Engineering Panel as they explore the many new nuclear initiatives taking place in the USA.

Suzanne Jaworowski, Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor, Office of Nuclear, US DOE will review the initiatives, which include the first Small Modular Reactor (SMR) deployment, the Versatile Test Reactor project and the National Reactor Innovation Centre. Australia is involved with the USA in some international projects, especially Gen IV advanced reactors and the International Framework for Nuclear Energy Cooperation (IFNEC).

As Suzanne was unable to leave the USA, her presentation has been recorded and will be played during the webinar, introduced by Robert Pritchard, Executive Director, Energy Policy Institute Australia.

Following the recording, the Hon Taylor Martin, Member of the Legislative Council NSW Parliament will discuss the opportunities for Australia and review the final report of the NSW Nuclear inquiry which he chaired.

The webinar will finish with a Q&A session with a panel of the Hon Taylor Martin, Robert Pritchard and Tony Irwin.

The Sydney branch of Engineers Australia established a Nuclear Engineering Panel of eminent engineers and advisers in 1975 to provide advice and information in the area of nuclear engineering and science.

The role of the Nuclear Engineering Panel has developed to include

- a focus within Engineers Australia for discussion and provision of information on nuclear issues in Australia
- provision of advice to Engineers Australia to assist in the development of policy in the nuclear field
- holding regular technical meetings for engineers and other professionals
- support for conferences and meetings on nuclear issues in the wider technical community and
- preparation of submissions to inquiries or other discussion forums and field
