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 distribution in water of indium resonance neutrons from a 1.4 Mev D-D source has been measured in planes perpendicular to the deuteron beam up to 28 cm in the forward direction from the source. The values of the integrated activities over the planes (including the extrapolated region beyond the range of measurements in each plane) are presented. In addition, a method is described for inferring an age from a D-D source by finding an angle where the distribution is equivalent to that from an isotropic and monoenergetic source. The age of indium resonance neutrons obtained for an equivalent source at 4.3 Mev is 54.4 ± 1.4 cm2. Comparison is made with calculated values of the age.
