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.

The Interlaboratory LMFBR Reaction Rates program involves the determination of rates of neutron-induced reactions by the measurement of gamma-ray spectra from the decay of radioactive reaction products. A goal of the program is to determine certain nonfission reaction rates to an accuracy of ±5% and certain fission-product rates to ± %. These determinations require a knowledge of two nuclear decay scheme parameters: (a) the half-life, and (b) one or more absolute gamma-ray intensities. An evaluation of the experimental data on these parameters has been carried out for 20 isotopes, including 6 fission products. The uncertainties in these parameters have also been evaluated.
