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 modification is made with regard to the thermal group treatment of Borresen’s coarse-mesh method by using the nodal interface flux obtained from an analytical procedure as well as the nodedependent thermal group weight factors for the enumeration of the node average thermal group flux. From the numerical studies of the three-dimensional International Atomic Energy Agency benchmark problem, it is shown that the modification results in an improved accuracy in the gross power computation of the three-dimensional pressurized water reactor problem.
