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 neutron spectrum equations are investigated for regions in which the neutron source includes both volume and surface components. The results are thereby applicable to reflected cores and reflector regions. The spectrum is analyzed in the volume-integrated P1 approximation. The difference from the corresponding bare-core relations is an additional source, plus the redefinition of the leakage parameter. It is shown, with the approximation of diffusion theory, that the leakage parameter is always nonpositive. Several simplified forms are also developed for this term. A numerical calculation is presented to show the details of the procedure, and the results are compared to a multiregion analysis.
