SUMMARY:Finding a good fit: Indigenous peoples and small modular reactors
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, novel reactor technologies\, commonly referred to as small modular reactors (SMRs)\, have emerged that can supply power to electrical grids or to remote\, off-grid areas. Although they vary in size\, SMRs are typically smaller than conventional nuclear reactors and are designed to be manufactured at a plant and then transported to a site to be installed. As such they are expected to be cheaper to build\, scalable to meet specific industrial and remote community needs and provide a reliable source of clean energy. \nBecause remote communities are a promising setting for SMRs\, early inclusion of Indigenous peoples is essential to their eventual social acceptance and successful implementation. In Canada\, Indigenous communities are already engaged across the nuclear supply chain\, from uranium mining to conventional reactor siting to nuclear waste management. An opportunity exists for SMRs to provide added economic opportunity\, environmental alignment and energy security for Indigenous communities if done correctly. \nThis webinar will bring together a panel of Indigenous voices to explore the current status of Indigenous engagement in Canada’s nuclear renaissance\, discuss concerns that still need to be addressed\, and identify economic opportunities for Indigenous peoples in the burgeoning sector. \n\n\n\n\nEvent Details: \n\nDate: Thursday\, March 9\, 2023\nTime: 12:00 pm – 1:15 pm ET\n\nPlease note\, that all registered attendees will receive a post-event recording of the webinar. If you are unable to tune in live\, you can watch the recording at your convenience. \n\n\n\n\nSpeakers \n \n  \n\n\nRegister for this webinar below. \n

SUMMARY:The origin of COVID-19: The debate opens up
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\nWhere did COVID-19 come from? For a long time after the outbreak of the global pandemic\, even posing this question was considered controversial. But several voices have long challenged the assertion that the virus has a zoonotic (animal) origin from a natural setting – and instead argue there are strong arguments in support of the theory that it escaped from a laboratory setting. \nJoin MLI Domestic Policy Director Aaron Wudrick in conversation with Dr. Alina Chan and Matt Ridley\, authors of the revised and updated paperback edition of Viral: The Search for the Origin of COVID-19\, as they discuss the evolution of the public debate on the virus’ origin\, and new evidence which has come to light in support of the lab leak theory. \n\n\n\n\nEvent Details: \n\nDate: Thursday\, March 30\, 2023\nTime: 2:30 pm – 4:00 pm ET\n\nPlease note\, that all registered attendees will receive a post-event recording of the webinar. If you are unable to tune in live\, you can watch the recording at your convenience. \n\n\n\n\nSpeakers \n \nRegister for this webinar below. \n\n\n
