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.

By Fourier transform techniques the exact solutions of the one-velocity neutron diffusion problem for a uniform infinite medium with isotropic scattering have been derived for plane isotropic, plane parallel monodirectional, and plane parallel bidirectional source terms. These exact solutions in terms of Fourier inversion integrals were numerically evaluated upon the NAREC to give the angular distribution of the scattered intensity, the total scattered intensity, and the total intensity. By solving the integrals by contour integration in the complex plane, asymptotic solutions were obtained which are good approximate solutions for deep penetrations and problems with little absorption.
