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 FN method is used to establish particularly accurate solutions, at modest cost, for the emerging angular fluxes basic to a class of multigroup particle-transport problems. A study of the fundamental computational aspects of the established solution is reported, and numerical results are given, accurate to five significant figures, for the reflected and transmitted angular fluxes relevant to a 16-group albedo problem and to a 19-group albedo problem.
