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 dissolution of the corrosion products of metals in deionized water at 38°C (100°F) is discussed. Copper, tungsten, cadmium, and Mallory-1000 give soluble corrosion products. Mention is made of 304 stainless steel, 1100 aluminum, titanium, tantalum, silver, and boron steel, all of which showed no soluble corrosion products. The significance of soluble corrosion products in reactor cooling water is discussed. Data were. obtained by chemical analyses of the water rather than from physical measurement of the test specimen.
