Gleason, J F

Seismic tests on new and artificially aged components mounted in a typical electrical cabinet have shown that, for certain electrical and electronic components commonly used in safety-related nuclear plant equipment, deterioration due to aging does not significantly affect the ability of the components to function during and after a seismic event. This result applies to the seven main component types in the program: resistors, diodes, integrated circuits, transistors, optical couplers, capacitors, and terminal blocks, as well as their interfacing hardware.
