Brtis, J S

Expert systems make it possible to capture and computerize complex decision-making processes. This provides a new and effective method for managing and applying engineering procedures. For several years, Sargent and Lundy has been pursuing the application of this technology and applying it to the engineering review process. One example of efforts is the Safety Review Advisor (SARA), an engineering support program being developed for the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). SARA helps engineers perform safety reviews, particularly those required by 10CFR50.59.
