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 investigation of the chemistry and steam transport behavior of radioiodine in boiling water reactors has been extended to four more reactors during fullscale hydrogen water chemistry (HWC) tests. Under the reducing coolant chemistry environment, most of the radioiodine was found in the iodide (I-) form. The iodine steam carryover was found to increase in varying degree under HWC conditions in two reactors and was practically unchanged in the other two reactors. The variations in radioiodine chemical forms and steam carryover are discussed in terms of radiolytic reactions, and the effect of copper ions in the reactor water is qualitatively evaluated. The effect of HWC on radioiodine transport is not significant.
