In this paper, Fuzzy State Space Model (FSSM) for a nuclear power plant is proposed. Pressurizer is used to control pressure and temperature in a nuclear power plant. In order to maintain the pressure and the temperature of the system, the effectiveness of the system needs to be monitored frequently. Hence, fuzzy state space approach is used to model the pressurizer. The influence of input to output of the pressurizer is established and presented in this paper. The result from the model is then verified against published data.
