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.

Power spectral density measurements were conducted at the Sodium Reactor Experiments (SRE) over a wide range of frequencies and at various power levels. Use of magnetic tape recording and speedup techniques permitted rapid data analysis and excellent resolution. Results were compared with oscillation tests under identical operating conditions and were found to have the same resonance structure but higher amplitude at the resonance peaks and at low frequencies. Investigation resulted in the conclusion that the reactor fission or driving spectrum deviated from white noise at some low frequency.
