  • Pressurized cabling and junction boxes for nuclear reactor vessel inspection apparatus
    Patent number: 4149935
    Abstract: An air pressurized coaxial cabling system is disclosed for carrying electrical cables and air simultaneously to and from underwater junction boxes and electrical elements employed in a nuclear reactor vessel inspection device. An electrical cable is routed to a sealed junction box which is also supplied from a source with pressurized air.
