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.

We examine herein the decay constants,λk which appear in the modal expansion of the neutron density in a study of the time-dependent thermalization of neutrons. A study of the proton gas moderator indicates the existence of an infinite number of discrete λk in the range . The upper limit is a limit point for the eigenvalue sequence. Consideration of more general models indicates the existence of a discrete spectrum in the range 0 min and max and a continuous spectrum in .
