Feasibility study into novel new materials for heat tracing applications inside nuclear containment

本项目将开发用于核电和加工的耐高温和耐辐照的电加热电缆。该电缆将是一种高温型电缆，围绕一种适用于核应用的新型自调节芯材料建造。这种基于新材料的自调节电缆可显著降低成本并缩短安装时间，同时提供上级安全认证，因为电缆不会烧坏，因此比现有技术更安全。这种新材料和技术可以用于其他需要辐射的领域，如长期辐射储存和卫星技术。

This project will develop, for application in nuclear power and processing, an electrical heating cable which is capable of high temperature withstand and resistance to irradiation. The cable will be a high temperature type built around a novel self-regulating core material suitable for nuclear application. This self-regulating cable, built on new materials offers significant cost reduction and reduced installation time while offering superior safety credentials as the cable cannot burn out, hence making it safer than the current technology. This new material and technology could be utilised in other areas requiring radiation such as long term radiation storage and satellite technologies.
