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 EBRFLOW program has been developed for determining the detailed coolant flow distribution in the Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II) primary system. Pertinent results obtained from the code include a determination of the changes in core pressure drop and flow distribution with core loading changes and a comparison of the measured and EBRFLOW-predicted flow rates through an instrumented subassembly for EBR-II runs 42 through 48E.
