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.

For time- and velocity-dependent neutron transport theory, a reciprocity theorem is discussed that expresses a symmetry property of point-source or plane-source solutions in systems of uniform temperature. As a consequence of the theorem, the coefficients in a decay-mode expansion are found to be the adjoints of the normalized modes. A long-time solution of the time-dependent albedo problem for a thick slab is derived from diffusion theory, with the aid of the reciprocity theorem. The reflected and transmitted net currents and angular densities are expressed in terms of the solution of the steady-state Milne problem.
