This study introduces a transparent fuzzy logic approach for plant accident management. It aids control room operators in classifying faults using interpretable if-then rules within a decision tree, enhancing safety.

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Engineering
  • Control Systems
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • Plant accident management requires accurate fault identification by operators.
  • Current fault classification methods often lack physical interpretability.
  • High-stress environments challenge operators' diagnostic capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a physically interpretable fuzzy approach for fault classification in plant accident management.
  • To enhance the transparency of fault classification models for control room operators.
  • To improve the reliability of accident diagnosis in complex industrial systems.

Main Methods:

  • Inferred fuzzy if-then rules from clustered, pre-classified signal data.
  • Organized rules into a transparent decision tree structure.

  • Applied the fuzzy approach to classify simulated faults in a boiling water reactor feedwater system.

    • Main Results:

    • A transparent fault classification model was successfully mined from signal data.
    • The underlying physical relationships among process variables were interpretable as linguistic if-then rules.
    • The decision tree structure allowed explicit visualization of fault classification logic.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed fuzzy approach offers a transparent and interpretable method for fault classification.
    • This technique aids control room operators in understanding the physical basis of accident diagnosis.
    • The approach is effective for classifying simulated faults in nuclear reactor systems.
