Electrical cables are critical components of nuclear power plants (NPPs) that ensure their safe operation. In use they are exposed to a wide range of environmental stresses, such as elevated temperature, gamma radiation, moisture, and electrical stress. Among the different environmental stresses, elevated temperature leads to the thermo-oxidative degradation of electrical cable insulation, which may cause early failure of electrical cables and subsequently lead to unplanned plant shutdowns, electrical transients, and/or a loss of safety redundancy.

Approximately 20% of the electricity produced in the United States (U.S.) comes from nuclear power plants (NPPs). Originally, U.S. NPPs were qualified for an operational lifetime of 40 years and NPPs can apply for 20-year license extensions following the original 40-year operating period. While most NPPs have entered extended license periods to 60 years, some are considering license extension to 80 years of operation. The viability of a subsequent license renewal (SLR) is dependent upon NPPs operating safely in accordance with a licensing basis similar to that established with the original 40-year license.
