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.

A new technique has been developed for converting solutions of dissolved salts to dry, granular solids by spray-injecting the solution into a heated bed of fluidized solids. The technique has been applied on a pilot scale to the dehydration and calcination of uranyl nitrate and aluminum nitrate solutions. The experimental equipment is described, and the effect of various operating variables on factors such as particle size growth, and completeness of calcination are discussed.
