27 IET members were welcomed to Dungeness B for an Exploring Electricity tour followed by a lecture on Small Modular Reactors organised by Jins Arambankudy for the IET Kent Local Network on Wednesday the 21st of February. The site tour was fully booked, and the talk was attended by an additional 20 personnel. Alison Prentice, Visitor Centre Co-ordinator at Dungeness B Visitors centre, is working with the IET Kent Network to make the Exploring Electricity tour a regular event in the future in the IET local programme run for its members, in addition to hosting an IET promotional event to encourage more IET membership from Dungeness employees. 
The IET Kent Network would like to offer a big thank you to Manus O’Donnell, Head of Development at EDF Energy for kindly accepting the IET request to present the lecture on small modular reactors (SMR). He gave an insightful presentation touching on technical, commercial and environmental aspects. The attendees thoroughly enjoyed the lecture and took part in the Q&A session.
Alison Prentice and her Visitor Centre team offered a fantastic tour of the site. IET members appreciated the level of knowledge and hospitality Dungeness B guides demonstrated during the tour and at the visitors centre.
IET Kent Network would like to encourage IET members to support the local committee. They have various roles which may be of interest and would welcome any support to serve the wider engineering community in Kent. The volunteers of the IET Kent Network are looking for additional help from local IET members for this year's Safety in Action at Invicta Barracks - 4 to 15 June. Please contact Jins Arambankudy for more information on volunteering opportunities 01797 343461.
