Expert system for surveillance and diagnosis of breach fuel elements

摘要: An apparatus and method are disclosed for surveillance diagnosis of breached fuel elements in a nuclear reactor. A delayed neutron monitoring system provides output signals indicating the activity age equivalent recoil areas element. Sensors used to provide outputs status each component system. Detectors also generate reactor power level primary coolant flow rate The from detectors sensors interfaced with an artificial intelligence-based knowledge which implements predetermined logic generates operability
