Young talent for nuclear energy: Interest remains high

Last week, swissnuclear was represented at two universities: at the EPFL 2026 Forum in Lausanne and at the VMP Industry Talk at ETH Zurich. The focus was on the diverse career opportunities in the Swiss nuclear energy industry, as well as its history and future.

Swissnuclear has submitted its 2026 cost study to the Administrative Commission of the Decommissioning and Disposal Fund (STENFO). The study projects total decommissioning and disposal costs of CHF 23.6 billion. A significant portion of this amount has already been paid or is available in the fund.

What makes for good project management? The CAS program “Nuclear Energy Work Environment” concluded with a focus on correctly assessing complex situations, the use of AI in day-to-day project work—and the factor that remains crucial despite all the new technologies: people.
