About
B. Perrier is a leading figure in fusion energy engineering, with a primary focus on the remote maintenance systems critical to the operation of ITER, the world’s largest experimental tokamak. Perrier’s most notable contribution is the comprehensive 2018 overview of ITER’s remote maintenance design, a seminal work that has garnered 26 citations and serves as a foundational reference for the field. This paper details the complex robotic and handling systems required to maintain ITER’s radioactive and hazardous environment, addressing challenges from component replacement to radiation-hardened tooling. Perrier’s work has been instrumental in advancing the European development activities for ITER, ensuring that the reactor’s maintenance is both safe and efficient. By synthesizing design principles and operational strategies, Perrier has helped shape the roadmap for remote handling in future fusion power plants. Their research underscores the critical intersection of robotics, nuclear engineering, and systems integration, making Perrier a key contributor to the practical realization of sustainable fusion energy.
