Intelligent Techniques And Soft Computing In Nuclear Science And Engineering - Proceedings Of The 4th International Flins Conference

This book is divided into three parts. The first part, "e;Mathematical Tools and New Developments"e;, provides basic tools to treat fuzzy set theory, rough set theory, fuzzy control, fuzzy modelling, decision support systems, and related applications. The second part, "e;Intelligent Engineering Applications"e;, reports on engineering problems such as man-machine interface, risk analysis, image processing, robotics, knowledge-based engineering, expert systems, process control integration, diagnosis, measurements and interpretation by intelligent techniques and soft computing used for general engineering applications. The third part, "e;Nuclear Engineering Applications"e;, concentrates on nuclear applications and covers several topics such as nuclear energy, nuclear safety assessment, radioactive waste management, nuclear measurements, nuclear safeguards, nuclear reactor operation, reactor controller design, fuel reload pattern design, signal validation, nuclear power plants, and optimizations in nuclear applications.
