Virus delays Fukushima debris work
Print Edition
The removal of nuclear debris from Japan鈥檚 crippled Fukushima power plant will be delayed by about a year, because the coronavirus pandemic has set back development of specialized equipment, the plant鈥檚 operator said yesterday.
The Tokyo Electric Power Co had been scheduled to start removing melted fuel from deep inside one of the mangled reactors next year, a decade after Japan鈥檚 worst ever nuclear crisis was triggered by a tsunami.
The process is considered the most difficult of the massive decommissioning program, which is expected to take three to four decades to complete.
TEPCO had planned to develop a robot arm in Britain that would have arrived in Japan next year to start work 鈥 but a recent spike in COVID-19 infections resulted in its delay.
