The IEEE Vancouver Section is 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 <a href="http://technology.TOPIC:" target="_blank" title="technology.TOPIC:">technology.TOPIC: The movie "Nuclear Now"March 26, 2025LOCATION: OnlinePRESENTER: The movie "Nuclear Now" Here is a link to the official website, <a href="https://www.nuclearnowfilm.com/We" target="_blank" title="https://www.nuclearnowfilm.com/We">https://www.nuclearnowfilm.com/We will kick-off the Nuclear Energy Series talks by viewing the movie “Nuclear Now”.

Oliver Stone presents a compelling argument in favor of nuclear power, portraying it as a crucial and potentially sustainable solution to our energy needs. The film is both thought-provoking and expertly crafted, making a strong case that the risks associated with nuclear energy are minor compared to the looming threat of climate change. Stone illustrates how, during the 1950s and 1960s, there was a global consensus on the positive potential of nuclear energy, which was later undermined by the powerful interests of the oil and coal industries that sought to manipulate public perception. Notably, the documentary also addresses the potential biases that viewers may hold, particularly due to Hollywood's dramatization of nuclear issues, and it skillfully navigates through factual information to provide a balanced <a href="http://perspective.This">perspective.(<a href="https://ieee-sustech.org/2023/ieees-sustech-initiative/)-" target="_blank" title="https://ieee-sustech.org/2023/ieees-sustech-initiative/)-">https://ieee-sustech.org/2023/ieees-sustech-initiative/)- (<a href="https://vancouver.ieee.ca/physics/)This" target="_blank" title="https://vancouver.ieee.ca/physics/)This">https://vancouver.ieee.ca/physics/)This presentation series is supported by:- (<a href="https://ieee-npss.org/)Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="https://ieee-npss.org/)Co-sponsored">https://ieee-npss.org/)Co-sponsored by: IEEE Future Directions Committee, IEEE Sustech InitiativeAgenda: The presentation will start at 9:00 AM Pacific Time (12:00 EDT, 16:00 UTC).09:00 Welcome and Speaker Introduction09:10 Presentation10:40 Questions and Answers11:00 Presentation endsNOTE Please be sure to leave sufficient time to set up your web browser and / or remote meeting client prior to the start <a href="http://time.Virtual:" target="_blank" title="time.Virtual:">time.Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/470057
