Nuclear Energy Strategy announced at CNA2026
At the Canadian Nuclear Association Conference (CNA2026) in Ottawa, Ontario, on April 29, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Tim Hodgson announced that Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is developing a new Nuclear Energy Strategy for the country. The strategy, which is slated to be released by the end of this year, will be based on four objectives: 1) enabling new nuclear builds across Canada, 2) being a global supplier and exporter of nuclear technology and services, 3) expanding uranium production and nuclear fuel opportunities, and 4) developing new Canadian nuclear innovations, including in both fission and fusion technologies.

Session Organizer:
This panel will provide a brief overview on the cross-cutting research and development (R&D) that is being carried out at various national laboratories to enable technology demonstrations and successful deployment. The main objective of the R&D is to reduce uncertainty and risk in the design and development of microreactors to facilitate rapid technology commercialization. The work is broadly applicable to multiple reactor cooling/technology options to ensure that concepts can be licensed and deployed to meet specific use-case requirements.
