Gregory's ServerMore realistic headlines than the ones coming from #Fukushima right now:
-The reason a remote robot removed the fuel is that humans can still not enter several of the reactors, radiation levels will kill them.
-Removing several grams of melted nuclear fuel is a proof of concept. The 800 tons of melted fuel remaining will not be removed this way, this is to assess the contents of the melted fuel. It is a minuscule sample and not the beginning of corium (melted fuel) removal.
-The corium at Chernobyl is still sitting under the reactor. It will take the better part of a century (best scenario) to remove the corium at #Chernobyl or Fukushima.
