Qualitative simulation for supervision of a nuclear reprocessing plant

Abstract

This paper deals with the first application of a supervision support system to a part of a nuclear reprocessing plant. The system is called DIAPASON; its role is to help the operators to understand the behaviour of the process, and to diagnose failures if needed. This paper is only concerned with the simulation of the behaviour of the process and the associated explanations provided by DIAPASON during the normal operation periods. The modeling, simulation techniques are presented, when applied to a nuclear process. A causal graph linking the relevant variables by Qualitative Transfer Functions models the process behaviour. The simulation consists in propagating through the entire graph the significant events detected on the input variables or on measurable disturbances of the process. As a result, the evolutions of all the other variables are obtained. The explanations that can be provided at the present time are deduced from the simulation.
