Work begins to dismantle cover at Fukushima plant

Work begins to dismantle cover at Fukushima plant

Photo taken from a Kyodo News helicopter shows a panel of the cover shrouding the No. 1 reactor building of the disaster-hit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant lifted by a crane on July 28, 2015. Tokyo Electric Power Co., the plant operator, aims to complete by the end of March 2017 the removal of the whole cover, which was installed in the wake of the 2011 disaster to keep radioactive materials from dispersing. The removal is a step toward decommissioning the plant. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
