Amphibious robot for decommissioning Fukushima

Amphibious robot for decommissioning Fukushima

CHIBA, Japan - The Chiba Institute of Technology invites journalists on Sept. 25, 2013, to see the Sakura No. 2, an amphibious robot it has developed for possible use in decommissioning the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, at its campus in Narashino, Chiba Prefecture. Photo in upper frame shows the robot carrying a camera on the tip of its arm and climbing up and down a staircase, and the lower frame shows it entering water. The robot is waterproofed to allow it to cope with underground water that has flowed into the reactor buildings at the crippled power plant.
