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.

The method of singular eigenfunctions introduced first by Van Kampen and developed later by Case and Mika in connection with a one-velocity transport problem, has been adapted in order to solve the time and energy dependent infinite medium problem. The expansion of neutron density and scattering kernel in series of Hermite functions reduces the Boltzmann equation to a system of homogeneous Hnear equations. The resulting set of regular and singular eigenfunctions is shown to be complete (if w∑nonelastic is assumed to increase monotonically with the neutron velocity w) and explicit formulas are found for the normalization integrals and Green's function.
