Nuclear fusion is one of the most important ways to resolve human energy shortages issues. Due to risk of ionizing radiation, the nuclear fusion reactor will relay on remote handling maintenance to achieve its scientific mission. Remote handling maintenance system is required to provide more reliable and powerful remote handling tools for increasing the efficiency of maintenance. With the development of technology, Internet of Things (IoT) has been became an important way to increase the maintenance efficiency. The basic structure of fusion machine and its functions has been introduced in this article. Besides, the maintenance system for fusion reactor has been described. Finally, IoT-based maintenance process for fusion reactor remote handling system has been established and it will greatly improve the maintenance efficiency and save the maintenance cost.
