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.

Ionizing irradiation of N2-O2-SO2 mixtures at pressures between 10 and 30 atm produced a white solid product of approximate formula (NO2)2S2O10. When the SO2 was quantitatively consumed in the presence of an excess of N2 and O2, only NO2 and N2O were found in the gas phase as products. The G-value for nitrogen fixation (in the condensed and gas phases) was not large and seldom exceeded unity.
