Marmon’s RSCC to Supply Safety-Class Cables for UAE Peaceful Nuclear Energy Project

RSCC Nuclear Cable announced today that it will begin manufacturing safety-related (class1E) cables this year for delivery to the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) peaceful nuclear energy program.  RSCC was selected to supply safety-class cables to the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) managed project, consisting of four APR-1400 reactors, currently pending regulatory approval. 

RSCC was competitively chosen on technical merit to provide power, instrumentation, and control cables that have been qualified to international safety standards for a 60-year design life, even in the event of a severe accident or design basis event (DBE).

RSCC has supplied the nuclear energy industry continuously for over 40 years, longer than any other cable-maker.  In addition to supplying cables to every reactor in North America, RSCC supplies reactors in more than a dozen countries throughout Asia, Europe, and South America.

RSCC has also provided safety-related cables to large U.S. government nuclear facilities and has qualified safety-related cables for more nuclear applications than any other company in the world.

“RSCC is pleased to be selected for the UAE peaceful nuclear energy program.  RSCC has successfully met or exceeded all tests requirements to date, and we are confident about our ability to complete and pass remaining tests on time to meet all customer and regulatory expectations and requirements,” said Steven Bonnell, president of RSCC Wire & Cable.

“The investment in high-quality cable today is an investment in a safe, reliable plant tomorrow.  Verification of cable integrity is critical to meeting long-term performance standards, and nobody has more experience with nuclear cable qualifications than RSCC,” said Dennis Chalk, president of Marmon Engineered Wire & Cable.
