Application of Artificial Intelligence to Radiation Control (I)

Development of Expert System for Transport of Radioactive Material with UTI-LISP Programming Language

Abstract

Recently artificial intelligence (AI) which has functions of our interpretations and judgments has been applied to various fields of science.
In the first application of AI to the transport procedure of the radioactive material, a prototype of expert system was developed with UTI-LISP programming language to appropriately classify mainly the packages and packagings according to regulations for the safe transport of radioactive material.
Classification of the packages and packagings for the consignment is mainly determined from input informations such as radionuclides, its activities, states and conveyances through a forward reasoning method of the expert system.
The rationalization of practice on our interpretations and judgments for transport of radioactive material including uniformity and reliability of our decision were confirmed as the result of an application to radiation control.
