This paper presents a novel SOFLIC(self organizing fuzzy logic intelligent controller) for reactor rod control system in nuclear power plant. The output of fuzzy controller is gener ated by using two signal : the error between reference and average temperature, and the error between reference and neutron flux-converted temperatures. Flexibility of the controller is enhanced by using self-organizing feature and the controller respond to variation of system parameter with more precision. performances of the SOFLIC and PID are simulated with the model developed for a nuclear power plant. The SOFLIC is superior to PID : SOFLIC provides more rapid load following capability. more robustiness for variation in process dynamics and minimization of engineer's mistakes in controller design.
