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.

An experimental method of measuring parameters peculiar to a two-region nuclear reactor is developed requiring the measurement of the cross-power spectrum between the outputs of the two reactor regions when a random reactivity input is given to one of the regions. Using bandpass filters and an analog computer, the cross-power spectrum between the outputs of the two regions in the University of Florida Training Reactor has been measured. These data indicate that the propagation of a disturbance from one region of the reactor to the other region may adequately be described in terms of neutron-wave phenomena and that the method may be used to determine the multiplication factor of each region.
