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.

This study was undertaken to evaluate Zircaloy-2 clad titanium-base dispersions containing enriched boron or enriched titanium diboride as possible control materials. Results of corrosion tests of the nonirradiated dispersions indicated that cladding with a corrosion resistant material was necessary. Roll bonding Zircaloy-2 cladding to titanium-base dispersions was shown to be feasible through a study of the integrity, corrosion resistance, and bend properties of the clad dispersions. Clad separation and excessive swelling were noted in the samples of clad titanium-base dispersions containing 5 w/o enriched boron which were irradiated for long exposures. The clad 34 w/o enriched titanium diboride dispersion irradiated to nearly the same exposures showed no visual evidence of clad cracking or excessive swelling. Metallographic examination after irradiation, which was confined to the 5 w/o enriched boron dispersion, revealed internal cracking and bond line damage with the severity of damage increasing with increasing irradiation exposure.
