The annual Canadian Nuclear Association conference was held from 12-14 April. “Together for Net Zero,” landed on the heels of a federal commitment to radical decarbonisation and a budget that recognised the need for nuclear integration deeper within Canada’s energy strategy. It’s opening the door to a national nuclear opportunity, NEI contributor, Jacquie Hoornweg reports.
The CNA (Canadian Nuclear Association) held its annual conference in Ottawa again, after a two-year gap. The nuclear community was able to meet in person again, recognize the extraordinary progress being made, and discuss the nuclear path to a clean energy future – net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
UNENE, as a member of the nuclear community working together throughout the world, is aware of particular challenges for our colleagues in Ukraine, both students and academics, as well as nuclear industry workers.

The Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme (MSCFP) aims to inspire and encourage young women to pursue a career in nuclear related fields, by providing highly motivated female students with scholarships for Master’s programmes and an opportunity to pursue an internship facilitated by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The next application call is scheduled to open in mid-July 2022 and will close by beginning of October 2022.
