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.

The application of a conditional Monte Carlo method for estimating the solution of transport problems is described. Statistical estimators for solving transport problems by the conditional Monte Carlo method are given for both homogeneous and heterogeneous problems. The analog and conditional Monte Carlo solutions of a simple one-speed transport equation are compared with the exact deterministic solution. The application to deep penetration shielding problems is discussed.
