Revision Standard - Superseded.
Direction for the design and installation of safety related electrical cable systems, including associated circuits, in nuclear power generating stations is provided. Guidance for the design and installation of those nonsafety related cable systems that may affect the function of safety related systems is also provided.

This standard provides direction for the design and installation of safety related electrical cable systems, including associated circuits, in nuclear power generating stations. Also provided is guidance for the design and installation of those non-safety related cable systems that may effect the function of safety related systems.
The purpose of this standard is to identify existing standards and to establish requirements pertaining to safety related cable systems in nuclear power generating stations. Solutions are recommended for areas of concern such as fire protection, raceways, separation, cable performance requirements, and installation acceptance testing and documentation. The purpose of the proposed revision is to update references and requirements.
