swissnuclear research projects
Swissnuclear finances research projects that contribute to the safe and economic operation of the Swiss nuclear power plants. The most important research areas are long term operation, safety and decommissioning.
swissnuclear also supports the education and keeping of competence in strategic areas at PSI. For this purpose there is a long-standing research framework agreement with the Paul Scherrer Institute. The research projects listed below have been introduced to swissnuclear through project proposals. They have undergone a selection process and have then been included in the research project funding/support programme.
