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 Spinrad three-group theory of the fast effect is formulated. Recipes are presented for determining the necessary cross sections directly from fundamental data and three-group cross sections for various materials are tabulated. A comparison is made between the three-group theory and one-group theory with respect to the calculation of R, the ratio of fast-to-thermal fissions, and it is found that the three-group theory appears to give better agreement with experiments. The three-group values of Є — 1 are about 20% higher than those calculated from the one-group formula.
