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 study was conducted to establish the suitability of the gamma attenuation method for measuring void fractions in a parallel rod array. A lucite mock-up was used to evaluate the accuracy of the method; the error was found to vary from 7 to 13% depending upon the measuring method. Data were taken on an air-water system flowing vertically upward at atmospheric pressure, and were found to agree reasonably well with similar data for rectangular channels and round tubes. The results of this study are being used to guide the execution of the 600 psia boiling water, void experiments which are part of the heat transfer development for the Pathfinder Boiling Water-Integral Superheating Reactor.
