Effects of Exposure to Radiation and Steam on Silicone Rubber Cables Removed From a Nuclear Power Plant

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Low‐voltage cables insulated with silicone rubber were harvested from three locations in the primary containment vessel of a boiling water nuclear power plant (NPP). Subsequently, the cable, which was placed in an ambient environment with a relatively higher temperature and the highest rate, was cut into four shorter ones.
