This handout photo taken and released on November 7, 2024 from Tokyo Electric Power Company shows employees loading a transportation box containing fuel debris from Unit 2 into a DPTE container, at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Okuma, Fukushima prefecture.
So engineers used a specially developed extendible robotic device to remove a sample with a diameter of five millimetres , aiming to study it for clues about conditions inside the stricken reactors. On Thursday, plant operator TEPCO said it had “completed the trial removal of fuel debris”, declaring the operation a success after several complex steps.
It will be sent to research institutes in Ibaraki north of Tokyo for analysis, a TEPCO spokeswoman told AFP, adding that the company is still studying when it will be able to start the full-fledged removal of the radioactive debris.
