All kinds of sensor with mechanical properties often can go wrong in nuclear power plant. In this kind of situation, it puts forward a kind of active fault tolerant control method based on the improved BP neural network. Firstly, the method will train sensor by BP neural network. Secondly, it will be established dynamic model bank in all kinds of running state. The system will be detected by using BP neural network real time. When the sensor goes wrong, it will be controled by reconstruction. Taking pressurizer water-level sensor as the case, a simulation experiment was performed on the nuclear power plant simulator. The results showed that the proposed method is valid for the fault tolerant control of sensor in nuclear power plant.

The analysis of acoustic emission (AE) signals produced during object leakage is promising for condition monitoring of the components. In this study, an advanced condition monitoring technique based on acoustic emission detection and artificial neural networks was applied to a check valve, one of the components being used extensively in a safety system of a nuclear power plant. AE testing for a check valve under controlled flow loop conditions was performed to detect and evaluate disk movement for valve degradation such as wear and leakage due to foreign object interference in a check valve. It is clearly demonstrated that the evaluation of different types of failure modes such as disk wear and check valve leakage were successful by systematically analyzing the characteristics of various AE parameters. It is also shown that the leak size can be determined with an artificial neural network.
