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.

Previous investigations of the pulse plasma Source with Crossed electrical and magnetic Fields (SCF) showed its availability as the source of plasma flow for Plasma Separation Process. The modified design of electrode system for the Stationary SCF is described. The results of numerical simulation of thermal conditions and deformation modes for the modified electrode system are presented.
