Acceptance Criteria for Polymers in Nuclear Applicatons 2017
Polymeric materials are widely used in the nuclear sector, from small components like O-rings that are regularly exchanged to complex components that are rarely exchanged. In the COMRADE project on acceptance criteria for polymers in nuclear applications, several ageing related issues in NPP environment were studied.

Silicone rubber in nuclear power plants: prediction of service lifetime in moist conditions
Components made of silicone rubber are used in Swedish nuclear power plants. Elastic polymer sealants used in pipe transits and joints are examples of applications. It is known that silicone rubber does not resist LOCA. The question is how silicone rubber components behave at normal service conditions.

Use, limitations and possibilities of Arrhenius based extrapolations for LTO studies of polymeric materials
Long-term operation of nuclear power plants relies on reliable ageing management of polymeric materials used in safety‑relevant components such as cables, seals and gaskets. Predicting their long‑term performance is essential for safe operation and informed decisions on lifetime extension. This study examines the use of Arrhenius‑based extrapolations in accelerated ageing tests for polymeric materials.

Cable Condition Monitoring Experiences at Nuclear Power Plants
Nuclear power plant cables are subjected to ageing during their service life. Proper ageing management of cables is increasingly important as the plants age and lifetime extensions are considered.
