  • Heat shield for cables
    Patent number: 9711260
    Abstract: A heat shield for use with cables in a nuclear environment can include a thermal insulator. The thermal insulator can have a low thermal conductivity and can be formed of a silica glass fiber material, an aerogel, or an aerogel-derived material. The heat shield can mitigate a 650° C. temperature spike caused by a severe accident condition. Cables including such heat shields can operate through a nuclear accident that causes an initial 650° C. temperature spike.
    Type: Grant
