Four years after the reactor accident at Fukushima, the European countries have carried out a second joint review of their EU Stress Tests national action plans. As was already the case in 2013, the EU experts gave a positive assessment of the Swiss national action plan.
Switzerland is on course with its implementation of recommendations resulting from the EU Stress Test. This emerges from the status report submitted to the European Union (EU) by the Swiss Federal Nuclear Safety Inspectorate (ENSI).
The Swiss Federal Nuclear Safety Inspectorate (ENSI) submitted its Stress Test status report to the EU at the end of 2012. The report documents how Switzerland is implementing the recommendations based on last year’s ENSREG Peer Review. A new Swiss Fukushima Action Plan will be released in February 2013. ENSI submitted its status report on […]

The experts of the European Nuclear Safety Regulators Group (ENSREG) have joined others in awarding good marks to Switzerland’s nuclear power plants. In their assessment of Switzerland’s National Report for the EU Stress Test, the EU experts conclude that Swiss nuclear power plants meet the international safety requirements in all areas, and Switzerland is even […]
The Swiss Federal Nuclear Safety Inspectorate (ENSI) intends to continue improving the safety of Switzerland’s nuclear power plants. After its analysis of the events at Fukushima, ENSI therefore defined follow-up measures for the current year relating to eleven key topics.
The EU Stress Test provides renewed confirmation that Swiss nuclear power plants maintain a high standard of safety, and that the measures implemented to date on the basis of knowledge gained from Fukushima are correct. Taking account of the submissions from operators, the Swiss Federal Nuclear Safety Inspectorate (ENSI) has, however, identified a further eight “open points” which supplement the 37 checkpoints derived from the Fukushima analysis.
On Wednesday evening, the Swiss Federal Nuclear Safety Inspectorate, ENSI issued directives on the EU Stress Test to operators of nuclear power plants in Switzerland. This is the 4th directive to be issued by ENSI since the accident in Fukushima.
