About

Yohan Leblois is a nuclear safety researcher whose work focuses on aerosol mitigation strategies for severe accident management, particularly in the context of the Fukushima Daiichi fuel debris removal. His key research areas include nuclear aerosol physics, containment safety, and radiological source term assessment. Leblois’s most notable contribution is his 2023 study on aerosol mitigation means for Fukushima Daiichi fuel debris retrieval, which evaluates strategies to control the dispersion of radioactive particles during the complex corium removal process. This work, conducted in collaboration with IRSN, ONET Technologies, and CEA, provides critical guidance for one of the most challenging phases of the Fukushima decommissioning. While his citation count is still growing, his research addresses a pressing real-world problem with direct implications for worker safety and environmental protection. Leblois’s contributions are particularly valuable for researchers and engineers working on nuclear decommissioning, severe accident phenomenology, and aerosol behavior in containment systems. His work exemplifies the application of fundamental aerosol science to solve high-stakes engineering challenges.
