ABSTRACT:
An automated monitoring system and method of operation is provided for a nuclear reactor having a pressure vessel containing a reactor core for boiling water to generate steam. A plurality of monitors provide signals for respective monitoring parameters for monitoring operation of the reactor, and a computer includes a database therein containing predetermined setpoints for the monitoring parameters. The computer identifies abnormal and normal behavior of the monitoring parameters based on the database, and determines cause of abnormal behavior of the monitoring parameters using artificial intelligence. A warning i also provided to identify the cause of the monitoring parameter abnormal behavior. And, automatic mitigation action may also be effected.
