Nuclear viability requires safe and reliable cables. Recent years have seen a renaissance of nuclear power worldwide. There are some 392 nuclear power reactors in operation which account for 10% of the world’s electricity, and 23% within the European Union. To satisfy the most rigorous safety standards, Lynxeo has designed exceptionally robust halogen-free ENERGEN® cables that keep operating during an emergency, while protecting people and infrastructure.
We draw on 35 years experience in thermal, radiation and design-based event testing. Our close partnership with nuclear engineers has meant cables customized and fully adapted to nuclear needs. Where radiation-protection and LOCA (Loss of Cooling Accident) procedures are required for fast automatic shutdown, Lynxeo manufactures highly reliable K1 (1E-LOCA) cables. Elsewhere, K3 (1E non LOCA and non-1E) cables assure flawless performance over a lifetime. Both K1 and K3 cables provide the highest levels of performance by limiting the spread of fire and emitting little smoke and toxic gases.
