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 computer code, MIG, has been developed to interface the magnet design and the three dimensional Monte Carlo code MCNP to perform neutronics design analyses. MIG prepares all the required MCNP cells and surfaces to simulate the magnets described in EFFI input. Extra zones with different materials could be added to envelop or divide the winding packs of the magnets. Examples of the input and output of MIG used by MCNP are given to illustrate the different capabilities of MIG.
