Abstract: An expert system for advising operational procedures for nuclear power plants was developed to provide operators with adequate operation plans. The system consists of two parts. One is the operation interpretation module that uses the knowledge base of operational procudures represented in the form of an extended Petri net model. The other is the operation consultation module that uses a hierarchical qualitative model of a nuclear power plant. This concept can be applied to the operator support system to supply operation guidance under anomalous plant conditions.
