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.

It is possible to derive a correction to the mean chord length used in the Wigner Rational Approximation which 1) gives a better estimate of the escape probability 2) preserves the equivalence relationship for each resonance 3) preserves the value of the resonance integral. Various methods of achieving objectives 1 and 2 have been discussed previously. It is shown in this paper that employing criterion 3 dictates an averaging procedure similar to earlier ones but involving different weighting points. A table of weighting points is given.
