Lifetime extension of ageing nuclear power plants: Entering a new era of risk

January 2014

In many countries of the European Union, nuclear reactors will be operated for longer in future than originally planned. Furthermore, the nuclear power plants have to generate more electricity. The components of the nuclear reactors are burdened by both their increasing age (and the associated agein
