Nuclear power plant diagnostics in APL

ABSTRACT

We are interested in the development of Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) diagnostic systems and other complex systems of data processing. There are some questions on the subject:How to build these systems easily?How to build them fast?How to build them at a low price?And how to build them to be user friendly?Today, from our point of view, in the area of Nuclear Power Plant diagnostics, there is only one answer to these questions: We must use APL.
