Safety regulations of fuzzy-logic control to nuclear reactors

We present an R&D project on fuzzy-logic control applications to
the Belgian Nuclear Reactor 1 (BR1) at the Belgian Nuclear
Research Centre (SCK•CEN). The project started in 1995 and aimed at investigating the added value of fuzzy logic control for nuclear reactors. We first review some relevant literature on fuzzy logic control in nuclear reactors, then present the state-of-the-art of the BR1 project, with an understanding of the safety requirements for this real fuzzy-logic control application in nuclear reactors.
