\u003Cp\u003EWithin SAMPO safety criteria and improved aging management research for polymer components exposed to thermal radiation environments was the focus. SAMPO was a collaborative project in cooperation with VTT in Finland and RISE, conducted in close collaboration with the nuclear power industry. Polymer researchers worked together with experts in sensor technology and sensitive analytical techniques to enhance the understanding of how plastic and rubber materials degrade during long-term use in nuclear power plants.\u003C/p\u003E
