TEPCO releases video of interior of Fukushima No. 2 reactor

TOKYO, Japan - Photo taken from the video that Tokyo Electric Power Co. posted on its website on Jan. 20, 2012, shows the inside of the primary container of the No. 2 reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, with the left side showing mesh scaffolding and the right side showing a pipe. The previous day, the company 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)
