Soccer facility made base for work at Fukushima plant

TOKYO, Japan - Photo taken on April 21, 2011, shows an artificial turf field of the soccer training facility J Village in Fukushima Prefecture which was turned into a waste depository. J Village was made into a base of work to put the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant under control. The facility, approximately 20 kilometers south of the plant, was built in 1997 by the plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. at a cost of 13 billion yen and was donated to the prefecture.

      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.
