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.

Calculations have been made showing the buildup of higher nuclides in samples of various heavy-element starting materials at neutron fluxes ranging from 4 × 1013 to 1 × 1016n/(cm2s). Attempts have been made to estimate yields of the heavier fermium isotopes and of 259 Md by means of the nuclear properties predicted from systematics.
