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.

The Dancoff correction to the surface term of a resonance integral has hitherto required tedious numerical evaluation of a double integral in cylindrical geometry. A recognition of the functional dependence of the correction on moderator mean free path λ allows a great simplification. If 1 - C is the surface correction for two rods of radius, ρ, separated a distance d between centers, then where is a function monotonically increasing with d/ρ, for which a graph is given. A simple formula is also given for C of a hollow rod’s interior.
