Abstract:There are over 600 miles of power cable installed in a typical nuclear power plant. Degradation due to thermal and radiation damage of cable insulation has been identified as one of the key factors that contribute to the loss of performance and ultimate failure of the cable. A critical aspect of cable health monitoring is to understand the nature of degradation and develop aging models to predict the service lifetime of the insulation. In this work, it is proposed to evaluate the effectiveness of four differen… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
