Not deemed safe by whom? The ENSI deemed them safe.
> In 2011, in response to Fukushima, ENSI called for a rapid review of seismic safety at all nuclear power plants in Switzerland. The results were to be submitted within a year and concentrated on the most important aspects. They showed that all Swiss nuclear power plants are sufficiently protected against earthquakes and flooding potentially caused by a breach in a dam following a seismic event. Further investigations also revealed that all nuclear power plants in Switzerland have a safety margin.

- hrktb 10y ago> Not deemed safe by whom? The ENSI deemed them safe. An audit commanded by the Health departments to non goverment related parties points at the vastly under-estimated seismic risk: http://www.atomschutzverband.ch/xs_daten/Fakten/93_3_Expertise-Fessenheim-f.pdf http://www.atomschutzverband.ch/xs_daten/Fakten/93_3_Experti... BTW the operation of nuclear power plant in Switzerland seems to be allowed as long as the ENSI accepts it as safe. Without any knowledge in the matter, I highly doubt there's no tremendous pressure and work done on the ENSI to be more lenient towards risk.
