Fiber optics communication failure modes

Sammanfattning: This report examines fiber optic cables and their ability to transmit data when exposed to fire conditions. By performing various experiments the study aims to widen the knowledge base in an area that at the moment is scarce in information. Literary studies of standards connected to fiber optic cables and their application in nuclear power plants are studied as well as previous work done in the field. By compering experimental results, previous work and standards conclusions are drawn about the use of fiber optic cables in facilities dealing with nuclear radiation.
