Dismantlement of exhaust stack at crippled Fukushima plant

Photo taken Aug. 1, 2019, from a Kyodo News helicopter shows the 120-meter exhaust stack (C) for the Nos. 1 and 2 reactors of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, crippled in the wake of a major earthquake and tsunami in 2011 in northeastern Japan. The stack was used to release highly radioactive vapor during the disaster. The plant's operator Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. began dismantling part of the stack to reduce the risk of collapse. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
