The redesign of the ENSI Board website focuses on the needs of the target groups. The structure of the new website has been slightly streamlined and new functions have been integrated.

All ENSI Board announcements are still available under News. The News can now be displayed as a list or as tiles. Links in the footer (bottom of the website) provide direct access to the website of the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC) or the Swiss Federal Nuclear Safety Commission (KNS). Furthermore, it is now possible to send questions or concerns directly to the ENSI Board via the new contact form.

These are just a few of the new features – we hope you enjoy browsing the new ENSI Board website.
