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 method is presented for calculating neutron cross sections averaged over the partial width fluctuations in the unresolved resonance range. The N dimensional integral (N ≤ 4) which appears in the averaging procedure is mathematically reduced to integration in a single dimension. The resultant expression is numerically evaluated by a Gaussian quadrature technique.
