Cables pass 60-year test

General Cable’s medium voltage Ultrol ® cables are the latest of its products to be 60+ nuclear-qualified, suitable to support both the existing nuclear fleet and Gen III reactors. General Cable’s third party testing ensures conformance of Ultrol 60+ to all nuclear requirements under ASME NQA-1 and US NRC 10CFR50 Appendix B, as well as regulatory guidelines of nuclear reactor manufacturers. Kinectrics (formerly Ontario Hydro Technologies) completed thermal aging, radiation exposure and design basis events (DBE) testing to a total integrated dosage of up to 350MRad gamma radiation, confirming that the products meet both prior industry standards and Gen III+ reactor profile requirements for a proven 60-year service life. “Medium voltage cables are a critical component to safe, ongoing nuclear power plant operation, and the required service life of 60 years for new plants extends to the cable,” said Robert W Schuermann, vice president and general manager, specialty cables, General Cable North America.
