Advanced Education, Employment and Immigration Minister Rob Norris on Wednesday will address the 32nd Canadian Nuclear Society (CNS) annual conference, which runs June 5-8 in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
Norris, who is also Minister responsible for SaskPower and Minister responsible for Innovation, will provide an overview of the recently announced Centre for Research in Nuclear Medicine and Materials Science at the University of Saskatchewan. The province is investing $30 million over seven years in the new centre, which will make Saskatchewan the focal point for nuclear research and development in Western Canada.
On Monday, Norris met with students attending the CNS student conference, which is being held as part of the annual conference and participated in the evaluation of student research presentations.
"I am honoured to have the opportunity to update the Canadian Nuclear Society on recent developments in our province," Norris said. "Saskatchewan is building a critical mass of research capability that will support the nuclear industry for decades to come. In the process, we are creating economic opportunity for a growing province and bettering the lives of people throughout the world."
Delegates to the annual conference will also learn more about SaskPower's world-leading Boundary Dam Integrated Carbon Capture and Storage Demonstration Project, which will be among the first commercial-scale carbon capture and storage projects in the world when it begins operations in 2014. SaskPower Vice-President Mike Monea will participate in a plenary session on alternative energy technologies Wednesday.
The CNS annual conference is expected to attract more than 400 scientists, engineers, technologists, government officials, senior executives and students. The 2012 CNS annual conference will be held in Saskatoon, from June 10-13.
"Saskatoon is well suited to host next year's annual conference, with its deep ties to the uranium industry and the growing importance of the University of Saskatchewan as a centre for nuclear research," Norris said. "It is also a warm and hospitable community blessed with beautiful scenery and a dynamic economy. CNS delegates won't be disappointed."
The CNS promotes the exchange of information on all aspects of nuclear science and technology and its applications. This includes nuclear power generation, fuel production, uranium mining and refining and management of radioactive wastes.
