Potential contexts include cold-climate northern ports and industrial marine facilities needing resilient, dispatchable power. Illustrative references, such as environments similar to the Port of Churchill, are provided for context only and do not indicate any current project, engagement, site selection, or deployment.<\/p>\n<p><u><b>Defence Sector Applications<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n<p>The hybrid nuclear energy approach is particularly relevant for defence and security infrastructure, where energy independence, rapid adaptability, cyber-resilience, and performance in remote or austere conditions are essential. Potential applications include northern military installations, forward operating bases, and Arctic operations requiring secure, low-signature power to support mission readiness and reduce supply chain vulnerabilities. Such examples align with Canadian priorities in defence and northern resilience but are illustrative only and do not imply any specific project, engagement, site selection, or deployment.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"ad__section-border ad__section-border--story article-content__ad-group ad_counter_5\">\n<section aria-describedby=\"advertisment5474622884596168577874688653393920\" class=\"ad\">\n<p>Advertisement 5<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"article-content__content-group article-content__content-group--story\">\n<p>Article content<\/p>\n<p><u><b>Technical Leadership<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n<p>The Collaboration draws on complementary expertise:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dr. Ramtin Rasoulinezhad, PhD, Director of Innovation and Technology of AEGIS and Director on the Board of Malahat, brings applied experience in power systems, microgrids, hybrid architectures, and deployment.<\/li>\n<li>Dr. Kirk Atkinson, PhD, Ontario Tech University, Director of the Centre for Small Modular Reactors, contributes recognized leadership in SMR engineering, fuel systems, and integration, supported by recent federal-funded research on nuclear safety and sustainability.<\/li>\n<li>Dr. Hossam Gaber, PhD, Ontario Tech University, provides expertise in hybrid energy systems, smart grids, and control methodologies.<\/li>\n<li>Dr. Khalil El-Khatib, PhD, Ontario Tech University, offers specialized knowledge in cyber-security and resilient system design.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"ad__section-border ad__section-border--story article-content__ad-group ad_counter_6\">\n<section aria-describedby=\"advertisment2394000585598021750389669841862656\" class=\"ad\">\n<p>Advertisement 6<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"article-content__content-group article-content__content-group--story\">\n<p>Article content<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis collaboration is about unlocking nuclear power for applications where it has historically been impractical,\u201d said Dr. Ramtin Rasoulinezhad, PhD, Director of Innovation and Technology of AEGIS. \u201cBy integrating SMRs and MMRs with AEGIS\u2019s advanced battery systems and secure controls, we are creating a new class of dispatchable, mission-ready energy infrastructure.
