Title: Medium-Voltage Cables in Nuclear Plant Applications - State of Industry and Conditioning Monitoring

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:819061

OAK-B135 This report reviews the types of medium-voltage (MV) cables in use in nuclear power plants and the techniques that are currently available to assess the condition of MV cable systems. The project identified the types of cable systems in nuclear plants and their operating conditions and then assessed the aging and failure mechanisms of these cables and suitable diagnostic test techniques. In addition, ways to alleviate conditions that cause the most severe aging were identified.
