SUMMARY:Monday Enrichment - Power Generation for a Reliable Energy Future
LOCATION:Nineteenth Century Charitable Association 178 Forest Avenue Oak Pa
 rk
DESCRIPTION:Our demand for electricity continues to grow at an ever-increas
 ing rate due to the deployment of new technologies such as electric vehicl
 es\, large data centers\, and artificial intelligence. Current methods of 
 power generation using fossil fuels (coal\, oil and natural gas) have been
  reliable and contributed significantly to our standard of living. However
 \, they emit carbon dioxide--suspected to be a key contributor to climate 
 change--as well as other harmful pollutants such as sulfur dioxide\, nitro
 gen oxides\, mercury\, and carbon monoxide. This presentation will explore
  some alternative technologies being used or under development as part of 
 a diversified energy landscape that\, along with fossil fuels\, will provi
 de a reliable\, sustainable energy infrastructure. Dale Jones is a graduat
 e of the Univ of Maine\, where he received a BS in Engineering Physics in 
 1974. He then accepted a position at the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory (K
 APPL) operated by GE for the US Navy. At KAPL he qualified as a civilian o
 perator at a nuclear submarine prototype used to train USN submarine crews
 . After qualifying as an Engineering Officer of the Watch\, he remained at
  the prototype as an operator and instructor. Next he moved to Combustion 
 Engineering Inc (CE)\, one of the 3 main domestic suppliers of nuclear rea
 ctor systems for commercial power generation\, where he helped develop and
  implement nuclear safety system test programs that complied with Nuclear 
 Regulatory Commission regulations. Most recently\, he has been a project m
 anager for electric distribution in the Chicago metro area. Free and open 
 to the public. Donations are welcome! To live stream this program\, visit
