Method and electronic device for assisting with surveillance of an element of a nuclear reactor, associated computer and associated system

An electronic device for assisting in surveillance of an element of a nuclear reactor, the device comprising:

• a training module configured for training an artificial intelligence algorithm;
• an acquisition module configured for acquiring an image of the element of a nuclear reactor;
• an estimation module configured for estimating, from the acquired image and via the artificial intelligence algorithm, the presence of at least one fault of the element;
• a display module configured for displaying the image of the element of the nuclear reactor;
• a generation module configured for generating a warning if at least one fault is estimated to be present;
• wherein an input to the artificial intelligence algorithm is an image of a zone containing the element of the nuclear reactor, and an output from the artificial intelligence algorithm is a level of confidence with regard to the absence of any fault of element, for said zone;
• wherein the estimation module is configured for estimating that at least one fault is present, if the level of confidence is below a predefined threshold;
• and
• wherein the training module is, for training the artificial intelligence algorithm, configured for providing to the input of said artificial intelligence algorithm only images of the element without any fault.
