Robot for nuclear decommissioning
http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/english/news/20130522_40.html
The government and Tokyo Electric Power Company say they plan to build a facility to develop a robot to help decommission the reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
Radiation levels in the plant are too high for workers to remove melted nuclear fuel rods.
The government and TEPCO say they will develop a robot that can be operated remotely. They plan to build the facility in a town in Fukushima Prefecture, about 20 kilometers from the crippled plant.
The facility will include a life-size model of the containment vessel.
Workers will be trained to operate the robot at the facility.
The government and TEPCO hope to begin operating within 2 years.
