Cable condition monitoring methods for nuclear power plants
Low- and medium voltage cables are used in nuclear power plants (NPPs) as part of instrumentation and electrical equipment to supply electricity or signal transfer. Typical estimates are that a single NPP contains such cables at approximately 1000-2000 km. Cables are subjected to ageing due to different environmental stressors like temperature, radiation and moisture.

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.

Thresholds for radiation sensitivity of polymers in combined radiation-thermal environments
Available data for polymer degradation in combined radiation-thermal environments can be used to justify radiation threshold values below which radiation effects are of little consequence to useful material properties.

Qualification of polymer materials for nuclear power applications
This study aimed to investigate how the Nordic power plants work with qualification of polymeric materials. The results can be used as a benchmark and base for improvements.
