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.

Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
The design of the Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor fuel assemblies is described and a brief outline of the experimental heat transfer and fluid dynamic studies and mechanical testing is presented. Correlations derived from the experimental data are given, and the results of their application to the fuel element analysis are shown. The hot channel factors are described, and the expected fission gas pressure buildup within the elements is discussed.
