Increases in plant operability using artificial intelligence and a taxonomy for knowledge representation

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5385759
In today's nuclear industry a principle concern is improving the operability of the power plant. Operability implies both economic and safety issues and is best reflected in plant factor. Operability deals with the degree to which the plant lends itself to ease and reliability of operation. This paper is concerned with improving the ease of operation by proper identification, representation, and utilization of required knowledge for operation and control. Additionally, this paper discusses a knowledge representation taxonomy, capabilities for Artificial Intelligence application, and a system that analyzes functional and administrative impact on plant objectives introduced by component state changes.
