Design of an intelligent fuzzy logic controller for a nuclear research reactor

The main objective of this paper is to design an intelligent controller system based on the concepts of fuzzy logic. This latter will be used to control the power of a nuclear reactor. The principle of this controller is based on rules established from experiments used with a classical controller and from the knowledge and the expertise of the operators of the reactor. This intelligent controller could be used in parallel with the actual system, which is semiautomatic, as a decision aided system to assist the operators in the control room.
