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.

In reactor kinetics problems where it is desirable to take the space dependence of reactor flux into account, the time dependent diffusion equation must be solved. The solution of this equation on an analog computer requires a large amount of equipment. If the equation is written the form, where the volume integral of the divergence of neutron current has been replaced by the surface integral of the current, then a large reduction in the number of mesh points and consequently in the amount of equipment is possible. An example is given and compared with the flux distribution computed on a digital machine.
