This was part of the TMI compute facility retrofits. Large facilities
at each plant were required to be built at least 2 Klicks away with
Health Physics ( rad medicine ), simulators, data collection, etc. We
had full take offs of all data that went to the control rooms collected
and displayed in the remote facilities. They were time and materials
contracts and _very_ lucrative.. All because something was printed on
yellow paper instead of pink...

We have to use expensive shielded cabling on some of our waste water

I also seem to recall that fiber is more likely to degrade in
space due
to radiation. We had issues with fiber runs from Nuke plants
having to
be heavily shielded when it was near the containment and not in
man-spaces.. But this was in 1980 when fiber was a pretty new tech..
