Chaos in Fukashima

#1 Post by OFSO » Sat Apr 08, 2023 6:18 am

TEPCO spokesperson Keisuke Matsuo told reporters Tuesday that the steel reinforcement is largely intact but the company plans to further analyze data and images over the next couple of months to find out if and how the reactor's earthquake resistance can be improved.

The images of the exposed steel reinforcement have triggered concerns about the reactor's safety.

About 880 tons of highly radioactive melted nuclear fuel remain inside the three reactors. Robotic probes have provided some information, but the status of the melted debris is still largely unknown.
