The paper presents some results of research work in the field of artificial neural networks (ANN) applied to nuclear safety. It shows how a priori knowledge in the form of qualitative physical reasoning can provide a powerful basis for designing a set of ANN-based detection subsystems. In particular, it explains how each ANN is in charge of modelling a physical relationship between a set of state...
