Swiss plan to shut down nuclear plant by 2022 [1]

The Swiss operator of one of Europe's oldest commercial nuclear reactors says it plans to shut the plant by 2022.

BKW Energie AG said on Tuesday that the Muehleberg plant will continue to provide electricity for 10 years despite a Swiss court ruling earlier this month that the reactor's licence should expire at the end of June 2013.
