Education and training to support Canadian nuclear workforce development
Along with several other nations, Canada has committed to net-zero emissions by 2050. Part of this plan is tripling nuclear generating capacity. As of 2025, the country has four operating nuclear generating stations with a total of 17 reactors, 16 of which are in the province of Ontario. The Independent Electricity System Operator has recommended that an additional 17,800 MWe of nuclear power be added to Ontario’s grid.

The UFOMOD program system is an advanced probabilistic accident consequence assessment (ACA) code. Its structure and modeling are based on the experience gained from applications of the old UFOMOD code during and after the German Risk Study Phase A, the results of scientific investigations performed within Phase B, the ongoing Commission of the European Communities Methods for Assessing the Radiological Impact of Accidents project, and the requirements resulting from the extended use of ACA codes to help in decision making. The structure of the program system and essential characteristics of important submodules are described. Selected results of recent investigations illustrate the flexibility and broad applicability of the new UFOMOD code.
