ALARA is an acronym for the phrase As Low As Reasonably Achievable. It is most often used in reference to chemical or radiation exposure levels.... ALARA is not simply a phrase, but a work principle, a mindset, a culture of professional excellence. In an ideal world, one could reduce his exposure to hazardous materials to zero. In reality, reducing an exposure to zero is not always possible; certain social, technical, economic, practical, or public policy considerations will result in a small but acceptable level of risk. The best way to prevent this risk from increasing is to keep one's exposure ALARA.  3, record 12, English, - as%20low%20as%20reasonably%20achievable

In the "expert", the domain knowledge is represented in the form of production rules... organized into "specialists" for each danger, which cooperate to classify all possible moves and select the best ones. So as always to play from the student's point of view, the expert keeps a record of the information gathered so far. The advisor module does not have any tutorial strategies; it intervenes each time the student has not chosen the optimal move according to the expert's classification.
