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.

Spatially dependent neutron-spectrum measurements have been made in both light and heavy water, using the General Atomic Linear Accelerator Facility and standard time-of-flight techniques. The measurements were made with varying geometrical arrangements, and both 1/v and resonance absorbers were utilized to simulate reactor poisons. The measurements were compared to calculations performed with an SN transport code utilizing the bound scattering models proposed for these moderators. The agreement between theory and experiment for the Nelkin model for H2O and Honeck&pos;s extension of this model to D2O is shown to be very satisfactory for the cases studied.
