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.

In 2019, the nuclear industry was the largest provider of clean electricity, generating 20% of carbon-free electricity in the United States. Now, as the country moves to decarbonize across all economic sectors, there are new and exciting applications for nuclear energy. This panel will feature an inclusive discussion of the role for nuclear energy to play in decarbonization goals from the perspective of different industry leaders. Presentations will focus on the current development of nuclear energy of new end uses, and how young professionals can best prepare themselves for the nuclear industry of tomorrow.
