A neural network model based on a chaotic particle swarm optimization (CPSO) radial basis function-back propagation (RBF-BP) neural network was suggested to improve the accuracy of reactor temperature prediction. The training efficiency of the RBF-BP neural network is influenced to some degree by the large randomness of the initial weight and threshold. To address the impact of initial weight and threshold uncertainty on the training efficiency of the RBF-BP combined neural network, this paper proposes using a chaotic particle swarm optimization algorithm to correct the RBF-BP neural network’s initial weight and threshold, as well as to optimize the RBF-BP neural network to speed up the algorithm and improve prediction accuracy. The measured temperature of the reactor acquired by on-site enterprises was confirmed and compared to the predicted results of the BP, RBF-BP, and PSO-RBF-BP neural network models. Finally, Matlab simulation tests were performed, and the experimental data revealed that the CPSO-RBF-BP combined neural network model suggested in this paper had a root-mean-square error of 17.3%, an average absolute error of 11.4%, and a fitting value of 99.791%. Prediction accuracy and efficiency were superior to those of the BP, RBF-BP, and PSO-RBF-BP models. The suggested model’s validity and feasibility were established. The study findings may provide some reference values for the reactor’s temperature prediction. Full article
