Activity Report of the Federal Nuclear Safety Commission
The Swiss Federal Nuclear Safety Commission (NSC) has published its activity report from last year. The thematic focal points of the Commission's activities included various incidents at Swiss nuclear power plants as well as various issues relating to safety culture.
According to the activity report of the Federal Nuclear Safety Commission (NSC), last year the commission dealt with various issues related to the safety culture of the plants. The main issues revolved around the perception of supervision in the area of people and organization. Another focal point taken up was the assembly deviation detected in the motor bearings of the emergency diesel generators at the Beznau nuclear power plant (KKB) at the end of 2020.
In the field of radioactive waste disposal, the NSC followed the geological investigations carried out by the National Co-operative for the Disposal of Radioactive Waste (Nagra) in stage 3 of the Deep Geological Repository sectoral plan (SGT). The focus was also on the results of a research project on the design and inventory of the pilot repository, for example on the question of the significance of microbial activity in the Opalinus Clay for a deep geological repository constructed there.
