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 determination of single-component flow velocities is significant in steady-state and transient water vapor-droplet flow systems. The method presented here treats local random vapor density variations and statistically varying droplet concentrations as uncorrelated processes. Signals are generated by simultaneous light absorption and scattering measurements. By applying an adapted correlation technique, gas and droplet velocities within two-phase flows can be determined separately
