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.

Industry and government leaders will discuss the near- and long-term opportunities and challenges involved with the deployment of space nuclear power and propulsion technologies, both on orbit and on surface. Some of the key questions that will be addressed include: Why consider nuclear technologies for the space economy, and why now? What are specific economic or other benefits nuclear power and/or propulsion technology solutions offer? How might regulatory processes affect technology development and deployment plans? What does industry see as a future path(s) to establishing a sustained business case for these technologies?
