New images from inside Fukushima
Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) deployed a remote-controlled robot on Friday inside one of the damaged reactors that had suffered a meltdown following a devastating earthquake and tsunami in 2011.
It was the first time the probe had been used.
The robot, set out to collect data on radiation levels and investigate the spread of debris, stalled after moving about 10 meters, according to a statement released by TEPCO.

Hopefully the world will learn from this and prevent a similar event from happening in the future
ReplyDeleteSam Collett the world said the same after Chernobyl disaster 1986. Nobody is going to prevent, but opposite: do you know what is happening in Ukraine this days?!?
ReplyDeleteI would say they probably did learn, since it didn't have as big a fallout as it could have (especially since it generated more power). The event was different in that it was caused by a natural disaster and not human error. There is a comparison of the two disasters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Fukushima_and_Chernobyl_nuclear_accidents

And the steam... it is going where? Hopefully condensating and dripping back down to reheat and become steam again... if not where is it escaping to
ReplyDeleteI still get people telling me that Sea Star Wasting Disease is caused by Fukushima. I feel like a broken record in my response to that myth.
