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 void propagation equation is applied to predict the void response to both flow and power oscillations in a boiling liquid in forced flow through a duct with axially nonuniform power input. The analysis and the solution are presented in dimensionless form so they may be applied to various systems of practical interest. For the range of parameters examined in this paper, neither the steady-state void fraction nor the transient void response are significantly affected by the shape of the axial power-input distribution to the fluid. The predicted void response to combined flow and power-input oscillations to the fluid indicates that: 1) The void propagation velocity is about the same whether the power alone, flow alone, or power and flow together are oscillated, provided all other parameters are unchanged. 2) Flow oscillations in phase with power oscillations reduce the amplitude of the void oscillations below the values that would be present with either the same power or flow oscillations acting alone. 3) Flow oscillations 180° out of phase with power oscillations result in void oscillations whose amplitudes are roughly equal to the sum of the void amplitudes that would exist with the respective power and flow oscillations acting alone.
