>__The prototype of the Copenhagen Atomics nuclear reactor is set to be tested in Switzerland as early as the end of 2026.__

>According to the SonntagsZeitung, the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and the Danish company are planning to operate the reactor in the municipality of Villigen AG. While operating such a reactor for research purposes is prohibited in Denmark, it is permitted in Switzerland.

>The small reactor is expected to enter serial production starting in 2030 and will be sold worldwide. When operating at full capacity, it could supply electricity to approximately 80,000 households. The reactor uses molten salt as fuel and is designed to be particularly safe.

>Nevertheless, critics have warned of potential risks, given that it is an experimental project. “Even though these are comparatively smaller facilities, accidents could have enormous negative consequences for people and the environment,” Nils Epprecht, managing director of the Swiss Energy Foundation, told the newspaper.
