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.

Two criteria for the Lagrange stability in reactors with an arbitrary linear feedback have been derived. The feedback kernel is assumed to be G(t) = rδ(t) + K(t), where r is the power-reactivity coefficient, and K(t), which is assumed to be bounded and integrable in (0, ∞), represents other feedback effects. The Laplace transform of K(t) is denoted by (s). It is found that “a) if r < 0 and r + (s) = 0 has no positive real roots, and b) if K(x)dx ≤ 0 for all t ≥ 0 in the case of r = 0, then all the solutions of the kinetic equations are bounded.”
