OECD/NEA Stress Corrosion Cracking and Cable Ageing Project

The Stress Corrosion Cracking and Cable Ageing Project (SCAP) began in 2006. The project’s main objectives are to:

The project has been defining and refining the database performance requirements, data format and coding guidelines, and is currently focusing on populating the database and assessing the data.

The database, together with the knowledge base and the commendable practices which will be developed by the members, will provide a tool for assisting the member countries. The final report will be published at the end of the project and will provide the technical basis for commendable practices in support of regulatory activities in the fields of SCC and cable insulation.

The workshop is planned to take place at the end of the project.
