Radioactive sludge

FUKUSHIMA, Japan - Photo taken June 15, 2011, shows bags of sludge contaminated with radioactive substances stored at a sewage treatment facility in the city of Fukushima, in the vicinity of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. A dosimeter indicates a radiation level of over 15 microsieverts per hour around 5 meters from the contaminated sludge. The storage tank is expected to be completely filled in about 6 months but the process to permanently dispose of the sludge has not been set.

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.
