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 report presents an extension of neutron spectra measurements with a fast chopper, previously described by Johansson et al. (1). As before, the investigation concerns spectra of neutrons scattered from various materials placed in the central vertical channel of the reactor R1. Special interest has been devoted to the epithermal region; in particular to the distortion of the spectrum caused by the fuel. For scatterers with heavy atoms it has thus been possible to observe “steps” in E ·Φ (E) at each one of the three lowest uranium resonances. The heights of these steps compare fairly well to calculations. The upper energy limit for the present measurements is about 10,000 ev. Some experiments using a heated scatterer have also been performed partly to check results published earlier.
