In some cases, polymeric components are integrated into the sealed enclosure, and thus impossible to replace during the lifetime of the nuclear power plant. Other applications, such as o-rings, are used in large quantities and are replaceable after a period of time, resulting in large material flows. It’s therefore important to gain more knowledge on how polymeric materials age in nuclear power plants, in order to achieve a safe and cost-effective operation.
