This paper reports on nuclear power plants designed, equipped, and operated within safety envelopes. Unanticipated failures, operator's malfunctions, and external events cause emergency conditions. Despite the fact that in the Three Mile Island and Chernobyl events the systems failed, there have been multitudes of other situations where systems succeeded. The use of artificial intelligence and expert systems techniques provide useful tools to meet those challenges. The application includes three phases: diagnostics, critical functions restoration, and optimum recovery. The use of expert systems techniques to enhance the operator functions in the emergency conditions are outlined.
