Applicability of silicone rubber insulated cables to be used inside containment

Creators

  • 1. Imatran Voima Oy, Helsinki (Finland)

Description

Imatran Voima Oy has tested the behaviour of silicone rubber insulated cables in a LOCA environment. Both thermal and radiation aging were performed as well as accident irradiation. Aging itself did not effect insulation resistances of the cables. In the accident environment, however, a decrease was found. The mechanical properties of silicone were degraded by aging. Especially irradiation had a strong effect. The result of the tests was that silicone rubber cables can be used inside the containment for only a limited time. (author)
