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.

Resonance integral calculations are done for 232Th infinite dilute, 232Th metal rod, and 232Th02 rod systems. Doppler effect calculations are performed for 232 Th02 rod systems for temperatures up to 2000°K. The resolved resonance integral for rod systems at each temperature is evaluated by Monte Carlo calculations and the resonance overlap effect between the two resonances of Th at 21.78 and 23.45 eV is taken into account. The unresolved s- and p-wave contributions were computed by standard methods. The data describing the resolved resonance parameters up to 3 keV (гγ = 25.9 meV) recommended in BNL-325 (Supplement No. 2, 1965) are used in these calculations. The p-wave strength function in the unresolved energy range is taken to be 1.83 x 10 -4 (eV)-1/2. The calculated resonance integrals and Doppler coefficients are compared with measurements and they are found to be in excellent agreement with each other.
