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.
Plenary Session

Moderator
In view of the decline in experimental facilities and experiments in reactor physics, our plenary session is more important than ever. It aims to present the latest advances and emphasise the crucial need for experimental data for the verification, validation and uncertainty quantification(VVUQ) of simulation tools. The aim of the plenary sessions is to present the state of the art in experimental physics at various facilities around the world and to discuss the current and future needs for experiments and experimental facilities for reactor physics.
