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.

Theoretical models are developed to evaluate kinetic data corresponding to gaseous fission product retention by solid surfaces. A specific study is performed for the iodine/iron system. The results are in good agreement with the experimental values. The contribution of surface/gaseous fission product retention in nuclear power plants is estimated.
