AI Technical Summary
Existing cables for nuclear environments fail to meet the durability and longevity requirements of new generation reactors, exhibiting susceptibility to oxidation, radiation, and structural failures, with limited lifespans of about 40 years.
A cable design featuring one or more conductors, a longitudinally applied corrugated shield, and a cross-linked polyolefin jacket, with a tin outer layer, providing enhanced resistance to heat, radiation, and pressure, maintaining structural and functional integrity for over 60 years.
The cable design maintains structural and functional integrity under extreme nuclear conditions, passing stringent tests like the Design Basis Event and achieving a lifespan of 60 years or more, while resisting degradation and maintaining flexibility.
