- Abstract
- [ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH] Many nuclear power plants have been constructed in Japan and electric power generation is now highly dependent on this technology. Therefore, the needs for facilities that will enrich and reprocess nuclear fuel from nuclear power stations will be high. As there are areas with high levels of radiation, the cables which can be used in these environments are needed. We have developed a superior radiation-resistant cable which uses halogen flame retardant materials. This radiation-resistant cable consists of Ethylene-propylene rubber (PEDM) insulation and Chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSM) sheath can be saely used in areas with high levels of radiation.
