Tokyo Electric execs' apology

TOKYO, Japan - Tokyo Electric Power Co. Vice President Sakae Muto (R) and other executives of Japan's largest power utility bow to apologize over a crisis at its nuclear power plants in quake-hit Fukushima Prefecture in a press conference in Tokyo on March 14, 2011. The No. 2 reactor at the company's Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant lost cooling functions and the reactor's fuel rods were briefly fully exposed earlier in the day, indicating the critical situation of the reactor's core beginning to melt due to overheating.

        Key Piece Of Debris Removed From One Of Damaged Fukushima Reactors

        FUKUSHIMA, JAPAN - AUG. 2: A key piece of debris was successfully removed Sunday from a damaged reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, clearing the way for the removal of over 500 spent fuel rods sitting inside the unit's cooling pool more than four years after the 2011 crisis. An official of plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. called the removal of fuel handing equipment from the pool "major progress" in the debris clearing process and a step forward to the reactor's eventual decommissioning. The fuel handing device, used to put fuel rods in and out of the No. 3 reactor and located above its spent fuel pool, fell into the pit when a hydrogen explosion rocked the structure housing the reactor on March 14, 2011.
