The Nuclear Energy Subcommittee, the predecessor organization of swissnuclear, was founded in 1985. Until 2017, the current association was a specialist group of swisselectric, the former association of Swiss electricity network companies. Since then, swissnuclear has been an independent organization, supported by Axpo Holding AG, Kernkraftwerk Gösgen-Däniken AG, Kernkraftwerk Leibstadt AG and BKW Energie AG.
The swissnuclear office has been located in Olten since 2003. It has around a dozen employees from the fields of technology, research, communication, public affairs and administration.
