' DISCUSSION & CONCLUSION b

This section will serve to. expand on the conclusion drawn by Isomedix 1

as shown in paragraph 7.0.

To preface the testing conducted at Isomedix all the samples of cable that were submitted were tested according to the requirements of para,

graph 2.5 of IEEE Standard 383-1974 and passed.

Further, all the spe-cimens identified in the test report as aged were confined to a cir-culating air oven for a period of 149 hours0.00172 days <br />0.0414 hours <br />2.463624e-4 weeks <br />5.66945e-5 months <br /> at a temperature of~162C.

~

This aging time and temperature coincides as a point to a line drawn parallel with a line that intersects the four (4) temperature p' ints o

developed by long term aging and plotting according to the Arrhennius Technique.

The parallel line intersects the point on the Arrhennius chart of 90C for 40 years.

Typically, the aged specimens are identi-fied on the Sample Description list be even numbers.

Both aged and unaged specimens were then submitted to Isomedix and were placed on test mandrels.

The cables, thus mounted, were sub-jected to gamma radiation from a Cobalt 60 Source at a dose rate of approximately 0.7 Megarads per hour to an accumulated dose of approxi-mately 205 MRads.

The mandrels with cables were then installed in the pressure vessel and the pressure, temperature, spray profile was then begun.

Upon completion of the 34 day profile period, the specimens were then

(

straightened a recoiled around a mandre,1 40 times their respective L

diameter and subjected: to an AC high potentia) test of 80 volts /m13 of insulation for five (5) minutes.

Any specimen to withstand the complete test profile including GOO Vac energization during the 34 day steam profile and the final hi-pot is judged to have been qualified for, Class 1E service.

By these criteria samples identified as numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 17 have comformed in all respects.

The failure of samples 6, 14 and 18 was due to " cracking" of the cable's during the terminating operation as the cables were placed in the pressure vessel after irradiation.

Cable 15 was mechanically damaged during insertion of the cables into the pressure vessel.

Cable 16 did-as far as could be determined - fail to withstand the rigors of the test.

Respectively submitted, t
