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.

Recent disruptions to the supply of stable and radioactive isotopes have emerged due to geopolitical activities. As well, concerted efforts in the U.S. and internationally over the past few decades have aimed to address growing concerns over isotopes. This panel discussion focuses on efforts to meet demand for isotopes through various methods, such as HALEU reactor-based and accelerator-based production, including plans and progress on development of new production techniques and facilities.
