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 power level fluctuations of the TRIGA Mark II reactor at Otaniemi, Finland have been measured at a power of 3 W. A compensated ionization chamber was used and the signal was analyzed by utilizing a filtering technique. A simple theoretical model for the power spectral density associated with the neutron noise was fitted to the experimental results in the frequency range 4 to 400 cps by the least-squares sum method. Calculations were made on a digital computer, which gave a β/l-value of 121.4 (units) 1/sec. For a delayed-neutron fraction with β = 0.0073, this implies a prompt-neutron lifetime, l, equal to 60.1 ± 3 μ sec. Noise measurements on TRIGA reactors have not been reported earlier.
