RSCC Nuclear Cable (RSCC) has completed delivery of safety-related replacement cables (class 1E) for the Shin Kori Unit 3 nuclear power plant, part of a nearly $13 million award by Korea Hydro Nuclear Power (KHNP). RSCC was selected to replace cables at two APR-1400 reactors, and has achieved the cable industry’s first installation of 60-year qualified nuclear cables. “RSCC is proud to have achieved this milestone in the qualification and manufacturing of the world’s highest quality cables, under the most challenging circumstances of scrutiny and delivery for KHNP,” said Steven Bonnell, president of RSCC Wire & Cable. RSCC has delivered over one million feet of cable to meet the urgent demand for qualified replacement cables. More than

1,000 reels of low and medium voltage power, instrumentation and control cables have been freighted to Koreaover thepast six months. Each reel was inspected several times during and after manufacturing in the US, and again several times before and after installation at Shin Kori. “ShinKori’scableshaveundergone more quality inspections than any other cable in the nuclear industry,” said Corey McDaniel, RSCC's vice president Asia. The cables installed at Shin Kori are the first ever to meet such stringent requirements, withstanding harsh conditions that include extreme temperatures, pressures, steam, and radiation. Elsewhere, RSCC cables have been installed in over half of Korea’s reactors and in every reactor in the US.
