Robot successfully retrieves first radioactive fuel sample from Fukushima reactor
Small sample to aid in planning the safe decommissioning of the nuclear plant, which contains an estimated 880 tons of highly radioactive molten fuel
Robot Grabs Melted Fuel Sample From Fukushima Reactor
More than 13 years after an earthquake-turned-tsunami triggered the second-largest nuclear accident in global history, a robot has snagged a piece of melted fuel from the fatally radioactive Fukushima reactor.
Robot retrieves first piece of melted fuel from damaged Fukushima nuclear reactor
The sample was collected from a mound of molten fuel debris from the base of Fukushima's reactor number 2's primary containment vessel. The fuel sample was then transferred to an enclosed container after retrieval by workers in full HAZMAT gear.
