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.

We developed a technique for producing nickel-chromium weld overlay claddings at increased metal deposition rates. Addition of supplemental filler metal in the form of atomized powder to the submerged arc surfacing process increases the total metal deposition rate in proportion to the amount of metal powder added. Deposit chemistry, micro structure, and integrity are similar to those produced by conventional, oscillated electrode submerged arc cladding operations.
