Cable testing under hydrogen burn heat flux and pressure conditions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5203227
A series of tests has been conducted in the Severe Combined Environment Test Chamber (SCETCh) at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) which simulated the effects of a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) and hydrogen deflagration environment on Class 1E nuclear qualified power and control cable. The test environment simulated HECTR predictions of heat flux, moisture, oxygen, and total pressure during a hydrogen burn in a large dry containment resulting from a small-break LOCA involving a 75% core metal-water reaction. None of the cable specimens failed.
