The typical operational lifespan of a nuclear reactor is around 40 years, although many can be upgraded to extend their operation for an additional 20 years or more. Regulatory bodies assess the safety and performance of reactors periodically, and upgrades or refurbishments may be implemented to enhance their longevity and efficiency.
