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.

Case's method of normal mode expansion is applied to the slab albedo problem, i.e., the problem of finding the angular density in a bare slab with neutrons incident upon one face. The problem is reduced to determining expansion coefficients which are shown to depend upon the solution of two nonhomogeneous Fredholm integral equations. Using Neumann iteration to solve for the coefficients, we obtain explicit solutions for the angular density, scalar density, and net current in zeroth- and first-order approximations.
