An attempt is made to collect material which allows an evaluation of to- day's prospects of Swiss Industry for entering the sphere of nuclear engineering. The first part is a general review of the particular requirements connected with the design snd construction of nuclear reactors. This is followed by a consideration of the characteristics of our industry, with particular reference to the machine industry. On the one hand the importance of the new branch of engneering for our industrial development becomes clear, on the other it is shown that our industry possesses a number of traditional features which point to favorable prospects for competently entering this field. The third part of the article summarizes the specific experience in the construction of reactor plants, which is largely based on the realization of the Swiss Experimental Reactor Diorit at Wurenlingen. The large number of individual experiences allow certain principles to be deduced, which appear to be of a basic and thus generally applicable nature. It has been found that many of these principles are corroborated by experience in other countries, from which it becomes clear that one must take pains to profit from the lessons learned for our future efforts.
