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.

Neutron radiography of dynamic processes is investigated. It is found that resonance-converter neutron imaging represents a promising technique for high-speed radiography. Theoretical results, obtained using edge-spread function analysis, were found to be in very good agreement with experimental observations. It is concluded that mathematical modeling can be used effectively to predict the dominant image quality characteristics of neutron radiographs of very fast transient processes.
