An organization may also build subject-specific knowledge bases to collate information on key topics or processes. Knowledge base is also sometimes used to describe a database of information. The nuclear industry has a variety of knowledge bases; some are industry wide, such as the IAEA’s Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) database and International Nuclear Information System (INIS) database. Knowledge bases of NPP
+
operating organizations include plant procedure systems, system description documents and technical manuals.

=== Description ===
+
A knowledge-based system is a computer system that is programmed to imitate human problem
+
solving by means of artificial intelligence and reference to a database of knowledge on a
+
particular subject. The purpose of a knowledge base system is to:
+
* Allow knowledge to be stored and structured;
+
* Provide an interface with other IT systems that contain knowledge;
+
* Allow users to find and access knowledge;
+
* Carry out decision making and problem solving activities to replicate human thought
+
processes.
+
 
+
In an R&D setting, knowledge base systems can be used to:
+
* Replace human intervention in some decision-making or trouble-shooting processes in a lab environment (examples include intelligent monitoring/fault diagnosis on large-scale equipment or experiments that require constant supervision);
+
* Store/preserve knowledge from experts for reuse at a future date (used in conjunction with the knowledge capture techniques described in para 6.2);
+
* Work faster than human processing for some activities that may require this (examples here include integration with reactor simulator systems to help model rapidly escalating transient situations);
+
* Assimilate information and integrate with other IT systems such as search engines, document/content management systems, portals and social networking systems as described in Section 6.
+
 
+
Some examples of knowledge base systems are given below, together with the links to the
+
relevant internet sites:
+
* True knowledge (www.trueknowledge.com). An answer engine capable of answering questions put to it on any topic;
+
* Solvatio (www.iisy.de). A diagnostic tool, which combines case based reasoning and rules based reasoning together with a self-learning capability;
+
* Novo (www.novosolutions.com). Help Desk Software, Knowledge Base Software & Service Desk Software Solutions.
