Description / Abstract:
This standard provides requirements, directions, and methods for
qualifying fiber optic cables, connections, and optical fiber
splices for use in safety systems of nuclear power generating
stations. Cables, connections, optical fibers, and splices within
or integral to other devices (e.g., sensors, instruments, panels,
etc.) shall be qualified using the requirements in the applicable
device standard or IEEE Std 323TM-2003, as appropriate.
However, this standard's requirements may be applied to the fiber
optic cable, connections, and optical fiber splices within these
devices.
Purpose
The principal purpose of this standard is to provide specific
directions for the implementation of IEEE Std 323TM-2003 for
qualification of fiber optic cables, including hybrid cables,
connections, and optical fiber splices.
