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 redetermination of the age τ (= ⅙ 〈r2〉) for neutrons of indium-resonance energy (1.46 ev) from a point U235 fission source is reported. Foils were irradiated in a geometrically simple arrangement in the Penn State Reactor pool, and counted in a standard manner. The value obtained, τ = 27.3 ± 0.9 cm2, is in better agreement with current theory than those from previous measurements. The spatial distribution found here differs most markedly from those observed in previous experiments by having a larger slope in the region within a few centimeters of the source.
