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.

A neutron activation analyzer utilizing an isotopic neutron source is described. The analyzer has been installed at a chrome concentration plant for off-line process control. Silicon, chromium, and aluminum can be determined simultaneously in chrome concentrates, ore samples, etc. Results obtained are described and further applications of the activation analyzer of this type in the glass, ceramic, and cement industry are discussed.
