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.

Several problems in heat conduction relating to internally cooled nuclear reactors are solved by means of successive Schwarz-Christoffel transformations. Formulas are derived for the computation of the thermal resistance between hot and cold fluids flowing through a solid in parallel channels of variously shaped cross sections, including the square, rectangle, and an oval approximation to the circle and the ellipse.
