Japan starts removing melted nuclear fuel 13 years after Fukushima disaster | Advanced robotic technology, including a fishing rod-like arm, is being used to extract hazardous material from Fukushima’s reactors amid high radiation levels.
Tepco has begun a crucial operation to remove radioactive debris from Fukushima, marking a significant step in decommissioning the plant.
After facing significant setbacks, Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) has initiated a crucial operation to remove a small amount of radioactive debris from Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant. One such device is a robotic arm designed to function like a fishing rod, which will be remotely operated to lower a claw-like metallic grip into the reactor to retrieve small amounts of debris. Last year, Japan began releasing treated wastewater from the plant into the Pacific Ocean, a move that sparked diplomatic tensions with China and Russia.
