Abstract :
Electric equipment such as pump motors, instrumentation, control apparatus, and wire and cable, is necessary for the operation of nuclear reactors in central stations and in marine, rail, and aeronautical transportation equipment. For engineering and economic reasons, some of the electric apparatus is placed close to the reactor in regions of strong nuclear radiation. So that equipment can be designed to be reliable when exposed to this radiation, engineers require data on the behavior of all the components and materials when subjected to this environment.
