A cable includes cable one or more conductors and a covering surrounding the one or more conductors. The covering is formed from a composition including polyethylene and a polyolefin elastomer, where the composition is crosslinked. A method of forming the cable is also provided.

Cables with improved coverings to reduce shrinkback and methods of forming the same

A cable intended for use in a nuclear environment includes one or more conductors, a longitudinally applied corrugated shield surrounding the one or more conductors, and a cross-linked polyolefin jacket layer surrounding the longitudinally applied corrugated shield. The cable conducts about 5,000 volts to about 68,000 volts in use and is radiation resistant and heat resistant. The cable comprises a life span of about 40 years or more when measured in accordance with IEEE 323. Methods for making a cable and a nuclear reactor utilizing such a cable are also provided.

Radiation and heat resistant cables

Fire retardant compositions including a base polymer, a fire retardant filler, and a fire retardant synergist are disclosed. The fire retardant compositions are halogen-free and heavy metal-free and can be crosslinked to form a cable insulation layer or a cable jacket. The cables can pass the UL VW-1 flame test. Cables having coverings formed from such fire retardant compositions are also described herein.
