'''Resun AG''' (an acronym from the French ''REmplacement SUisse Nucléaire'', Swiss nuclear replacement) was a company located in [Aarau](/source/Aarau), [Switzerland](/source/Switzerland). Its purpose was to manage the construction of two new nuclear reactors. These are unofficially known as Beznau 3 and Mühleberg 2 from the locations where they should be built.<ref>{{cite press release

After 2020 the existing plants of [Beznau](/source/Beznau_Nuclear_Power_Plant) (1969, 730 MW) and [Mühleberg](/source/M%C3%BChleberg_Nuclear_Power_Plant) (1972, 355 MW) should cease activity. At the same time some import contracts with [France](/source/France) for around 2000 MW will expire. With a combined electrical power output of 3200 MW, the new reactors would prevent the resulting energy gap and satisfy the expected domestic demand increase.<ref>[http://www.resun.ch/fileadmin/pdf/Praesentation_Medienkonferenz_Dezember07.pdf Resun AG press conference show], in German.</ref>
