Switzerland’s nuclear fleet meets all requirements set by the World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) safety group, the Swissnuclear industry group has said.

Swissnuclear, the association of Swiss nuclear power plant operators, said the Beznau, Gösgen and Leibstadt nuclear power plants were recognised by WANO for their high level of safety and availability.

“They already meet all the requirements that, according to WANO’s objectives, all nuclear power plants in the world are to achieve by 2030,” Swissnuclear said in a statement.
