## Abstract It is submitted that the development of a set of complementary performance test standards and of an algorithm for calculating from the test results the inherent potential of products for harm is the prerequisite of any progress towards a coherent fire risk assessment philosophy.

Oxidation induction time (OIT) has been proven to be a useful diagnostic tool in assessing the extent of degradation in the polymer insulation of electric cable in nuclear power plants. Factors that influence OIT include test temperature, sample preparation, sample geometry, sample mass, particle si
## Abstract Depending on the morphology of the material and applied voltage frequency, three kinds of electrical trees can exist in crossβlinked polyethylene (XLPE) cable insulation, which are conducting, nonβconducting, and mixed trees with different growth mechanisms. It is suggested that when th
