Newly found Fukushima plant contamination may delay cleanup

FILE - In this Dec. 2, 2019, file photo released by Tokyo Electric Power Co. , shows melted fuel taken by a telescopic robot inside of the primary containment vessel of Unit 2 reactor at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant in Okuma, northeast Japan. Japan’s government and the operator of a wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant said Thursday, Dec.

The interim report said data collected by investigators showed that the sealing plugs sitting atop the No. 2 and 3 reactor containment vessels were as fatally contaminated as nuclear fuel debris that had melted and fell to the bottom of the reactors following the March 2011 tsunami and earthquake.

The lid contamination does not affect the environment as the containment vessels are enclosed inside the reactor buildings. The report did not give further details about if or how the lid contamination would affect the decommissioning progress.

This disaster will never end.

Now?!? Or then !!

Cleanup crews will be safe with a paper cloth mask.

I want to see the genius who thought it was a good idea to put the emergency generator underground, that's easily flooded

Send it to venus...its cold there

Now do the environmental problems with fossil fuels...

Probably a good time to get a team together with AI to assist with “remote” cleanup and past experience to try to fix this... the long term effects will be ... unmeasurable but guessing significantly worse than Chernobyl as it is 1 - 10 years later and 2 - On Water.

Years later they decide to say anything? To busy making trinkets for Alibaba?

It has already killed a 1/3 of the oceans...

Shut them all down.

The invetigation needs to identify the bonehead who decided to put a nuclear plant near the fault

Looks like my toilet

Nuclear Power is the future of clean energy, Chernobyl and such accidents happen because of human failure

That’s another reason why we need to move to solar abs wind energy and end nuclear power

😱

thanks for this news

Cap it. lol
