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.

Mass-yield measurements were made for the fission of 241Am induced by graphite-moderated reactor neutrons. In most cases gamma-ray spectrometry was used to measure the radioactivity of the isolated fission products. The relative abundance of each nuclide representing a particular fission chain was determined radiochemically with respect to 139Ba, whose fission yield was assumed to be 6.22%. The composite results of the three separate experiments are presented.
