Combination of Artificial Intelligence and Procedural Language Programs in a Computer Application System Supporting Nuclear Reactor Operations

摘要

A computer application system is described which provides nuclear reactor power plant operators with an improved decision support system. This system combines traditional computer applications such as graphics display with artificial intelligence methodologies such as reasoning and diagnosis so as to improve plant operability. This paper discusses the issues, and a solution, involved with the system integration of applications developed using traditional and artificial intelligence languages. (ERA citation 10:044310)
