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 paper involves the formulation of the transient digital control problem of power reactors. Simplifications have been considered that have to be made to enable modern control theory to be applicable for use in digital control. Included in the discussion are the approaches of digital control systems that would statisfy stability, autonomy, and optimal filtering criteria. The aim of this discussion is to propose possible solutions of the considered problem and further investigations.
