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 summary is given of the work done on the thermal behavior of air-cooled graphite channels. The differences in results between this work and work done by Robinson and Taylor (5) appear to arise from the different models used. The results reported here and re-evaluation of the Robinson and Taylor work indicate that their model is not confirmed by their experiments and does not predict the limit in permissible temperatures imposed by graphite oxidation in air-cooled graphite moderated reactors.
