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.

It has been observed in the past that the computer time required for the numerical solution of the transport equation has been almost prohibitive for many problems of interest. Results of a study designed to improve the convergence rate of the angular segmentation or Sn method are presented. Examples showing the effect of several different modifications of the standard Sn method are given. It is recommended that the incorporation of the modification discussed will significantly improve the convergence of the Sn method and permit an efficient solution of many problems related to thermal assemblies.
