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.

Carrier-free 132Cs and 129Cs were produced by the 129I(α,n)132Cs, 129I(α,4n)129Cs, and 127I(α,2n)129Cs reactions using thallous iodide as a recoverable target. Upper limits for the production yields of these isotopes are 25µC/(µA h) for 132Cs and 2 mC/(µA h) for 129Cs, for 35-MeV alpha particles.
