Drone shows creepy first look inside destroyed Fukushima reactor
Eerie new drone footage has provided the first-ever glimpse into the damage sustained by the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, 13 years after its meltdown. The operation to get inside was no trivial task – operator TEPCO used a tiny drone, barely 5cm tall to maneuver through the cramped and partially melted pressure containment vessel (PCV), and a robotic ‘snake’ to relay the video and photographs back. The footage is foggy from the radiation, and the photographs show the characteristic speckles of radioactive particles interfering with the sensor.
Not that the quality of the video is of importance considering the interior of the PCV is largely unrecognizable. As the drone silently flies through the abandoned, now alien metalscape, the only clearly identifiable objects are the remains of previous, derelict inspection equipment. Twisted lumps of material hang from the walls and ceilings, but the drone does not carry enough equipment to tell if these are melted fuel rods, melted equipment, or a strange mixture of both. About 880 tons of highly radioactive melted nuclear fuel still remain inside the three damaged reactors, and TEPCO aims to gather more information about its location and condition to facilitate its removal. That removal process is expected to take 40 years.
