Equipment qualification and survivability research at Sandia National Laboratories. [Electrical penetration assemblies]
Since its inception in 1975, the Qualification Testing Evaluation (QTE) Program has been concerned with several broad issues in safety-related equipment qualification. These concerns encompass both aging simulation methods as well as accident simulation methods. Much of the effort is concerned with combined environments, especially radiation in combination with other environments including oxygen, temperature, mechancial stress, and accident thermodynamic environments like pressure/temperature/chemical spray. The Electrical Penetrations Assemblies (EPA) Program is specifically concerned with the survival (i.e., leak-rate integrity) of such assemblies under severe accident conditions. A brief discussion of several current and planned projects illustrate the scope of these NRC-sponsored efforts.
