27、These materials are sensitive to the effects of irradiation and the response varies widely between different types. It is therefore important to be able to assess the degree of degradation of these insulating materials during their service lifetimes. This part of IEC 60544 provides recommended proce
28、dures for assessing ageing of insulating materials in service. There are a number of approaches to the assessment of ageing of polymer-based components exposed to radiation environments 141. These are based on the better understanding of the factors affecting ageing degradation which has been develo
29、ped over several decades. In nuclear power plants, qualification programmes are normally used for selection of components, including those based on polymeric materials. These initial qualification procedures, such as IEEE-323 5 and IEEE-383 6, were originally written before there was sufficient unde
30、rstanding of ageing mechanisms. Most of the methods discussed in this part of IEC 60544 are therefore used to supplement the initial qualification process. This part is the fifth in a series dealing with the effect of ionizing radiation on insulating materials. Part 1 (Radiation interaction and dosi
31、metry) constitutes an introduction dealing very broadly with the problems involved in evaluating radiation effects. It also provides guidance to dosimetry terminology, several methods of determining exposure and absorbed dose, and methods of calculating absorbed dose in any specific material from th
32、e dosimetry method applied. Part 2 (Procedures for irradiation and test) describes procedures for maintaining seven different types of exposure conditions during irradiation. It also specifies the controls that should be maintained over these conditions so that when test results are reported, reliab
33、le comparisons of material performance can be made. In addition, it defines certain important irradiation conditions and test procedures to be used for property change determinations and corresponding end-point criteria. Part 3 has been incorporated into the second edition of IEC 60544-2. Part 4 (Cl
34、assification system for service in radiation environments) provides a recommended classification system for categorizing the radiation endurance of insulation materials. _ 1Figures in square brackets refer to the bibliography.

The approaches discussed in the following clauses cover ageing assessment programmes based on condition mon

43、oderated energy reactor (type of pressurized water reactor developed by Russia) XLPE Cross-linked polyethylene 4 Background 4.1 General There are a number of factors that need to be considered when assessing ageing of polymeric components in radiation environments. In the following clauses some of t
44、hese factors are briefly discussed and references made to more detailed information. To accelerate radiation-ageing environments, the normal approach is to increase the radiation dose rate, often combined with an increase in temperature. The two most important potential complications arising from su
45、ch increases involve diffusion-limited oxidation, which is described in 4.2, and chemical dose rate effects (DRE), which are described in 4.3. The implications of these factors on the use and interpretation of condition monitoring (CM) techniques are also discussed. Accelerated ageing programmes are
46、 briefly discussed in 4.4 and 4.5. 4.2 Diffusion limited oxidation (DLO) When polymers are exposed to an oxygen-containing environment (e.g. air), some oxygen will be dissolved in the material. In the absence of oxygen-consuming reactions (oxidation), the amount of dissolved oxygen will be proportio
47、nal to the oxygen partial pressure surrounding the polymer (well known from Henrys Law). Ageing will lead to oxidation reactions in the polymer, whose rate will increase significantly as the dose rate and temperature of ageing are BS EN 60544-5:2012 8 60544-5 IEC:2011 increased. If the rate of consu
48、mption of dissolved oxygen in the polymer is faster than the rate at which oxygen can be replenished by diffusion from the surrounding atmosphere, the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the interior regions will decrease with time (the oxygen concentration at the sample surface will remain at its
49、equilibrium value). The reduction in internal oxygen concentration can lead to reduced or negligible oxidation, referred to as diffusion limited oxidation. The importance of this effect is dependent on the sample thickness (thinner samples giving smaller DLO effects) and the ratio of the oxygen consumption rate to the oxygen permeability coefficient P, which is the product of the oxygen diffusion and solubility parameters. Accelerated radiation environments involve increase
