TEPCO releases images of interior of Fukushima No. 2 reactor

TOKYO, Japan - Supplied photo shows a pipe inside the primary container of the No. 2 reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. On Jan. 19, 2012, Tokyo Electric Power Co. inserted an industrial endoscope into the reactor that suffered meltdown following the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, in the first attempt by the plant's operator to directly check the interiors of the crippled reactors at the complex. Due to the effects of radiation, the image is blurry and has many spots. (Photo courtesy of Tokyo Electric Power Co.)(Kyodo)

Lifting Of Cover Panels End At Fukushima Nuke Plant

FUKUSHIMA, JAPAN – OCT. 5: The last of six panels of the cover shrouding the No. 1 reactor building of the disaster-hit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was lifted on October 5. The lifting of cover panels, each of which is 42-meter long and seven-meter wide, started on July 28 as part of works to dismantle the plant. Tokyo Electric Power Co., the plant operator, said the next step will be a 1.5-year-long job to take away its wall panels and put on windbreak sheets instead, before trying to retrieve nuclear fuels from the pool by March 2021. The Fukushima plant caused serious melt down after hit by a mega earthquake and following tsunami on March 11 2011.
