About

D. Mouyon is a key figure in the development of remote inspection and diagnostic technologies for fusion energy devices, with a particular focus on the safety and maintenance of tokamak reactors. His research centers on robotic interventions in extreme environments, leak localization in fusion machines, and in-vessel inspection systems. Mouyon’s most impactful work includes a pioneering approach to remote leak localization for fusion machines (14 citations), which addresses a critical challenge in maintaining plasma-facing components and vacuum integrity. He also contributed to the regular in-vessel inspections of the WEST tokamak using the Articulated Inspection Arm (AIA) robot (11 citations), demonstrating a practical, high-precision solution for monitoring reactor interiors without human entry. These contributions have advanced the operational reliability of fusion experiments, directly supporting the long-term viability of magnetic confinement fusion. Mouyon’s work is notable for bridging robotics, plasma physics, and nuclear safety, offering scalable methods for future reactors like ITER. His research remains essential for students and engineers developing autonomous maintenance systems for next-generation energy devices.
