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.

Duplex coated fuel particles consist of two discontinuous layers of pyrolytic coating. Theoretical advantages of the layered construction appear substantiated in irradiation tests. The inner coating is applied at temperatures of 1400 C to 1750 C, and the high-density, more graphitic final coating is applied at 1800 to 2200 C. Coating micro-structure may be varied from a rough-surfaced highly oolitic conical pyrolytic to a smooth, glossy fine coned pyrolytic. The force necessary to crush these particles is inversely proportional to pyrolytic cone length. Irradiation of Duplex particles at temperatures up to 1200 C and bum-up s to 30 atom percent show a steady Kr88 of 10-5.
