The kickoff lecture in the Nuclear Resonance Lecture Series, titled Canada’s Case for Enrichment, was held at McMaster on February 24, 2026.
Nearly 100 nuclear professionals, researchers and students attended to hear discussions on policy, industry, and technical perspectives unpacking the issues surrounding enrichment in Canada, and marking the release of a new whitepaper on the topic. Attendees heard a presentation led by the co-authors of the whitepaper, followed by a moderated panel featuring experts from Cameco, Urenco, and the CNA.
