Swiss nuclear power and the case for long-term operation
Designed for 40 years but built to last far longer, Switzerland’s nuclear power plants have all entered long-term operation. Yet age alone says little about safety or performance. Through continuous upgrades, strict regulatory oversight, and extensive aging management, the country’s reactors are being prepared for decades of continued operation, in line with international practice.

Come join us for the inaugural NCSD Young Member Subcommittee social event! Just a 5-minute walk from the conference venue! The first hour will be a speed ‘meet and greet’ event so have a 5-minute pitch for your job/involvement with NCS ready and be prepared to exchange contact information. The second hour will be for additional socializing. Drink tickets will be provided for participants (extra tickets provided if you volunteer for a sub position in the committee). The goal of this is to meet your colleagues, possibly identify a ‘buddy’ at a different site to regularly communicate with, and to have fun. Looking forward to seeing you at the event!
For more information about the NCSD Young Member Subcommittee please visit our website.
Target Audience: Those that meet the ANS young members definition (35 years or younger or 6 years from graduation) or new to working in the NCS discipline (less than 5 years).
Capacity: 40 attendees. Please note, this is 21 and over only event.
Please RSVP for the event by emailing James Cole at jrcole@sandia.gov.
