debris from the plant. in twenty twenty or later japan plans to start removing melted fuel from the three reactors that separate meltdowns. the removal of the fuel debris is a core part of the work to de commissioned the plant international research institute for nuclear decommissioning or by our id explain the current plan to someone under thirty engineers and researchers at a briefing session in tokyo the plan is to fill the reactor containment vessels with water to minimize workers exposed to radiation is that it officials said. they're seeking information on ways to examine the condition of the belted feel inside the reactors and containment vessels which are complicated structures. there are also asking for ideas on ways to remove the field by remote control. but today we welcome a whole range of proposals from various fields the officials said they believe there are numerous technologies in the world that can be applied to this

project proposals will be accepted in either japanese or english through the i r i p website through january thirty first. french nuclear safety specialists have been trying to clear up what they say are misconceptions about the cushion that they took a group of french journalists on it or of the prefecture the journalist visited that this city around fifty km from the nuclear plant they saw how residents are tackling contamination from the accident. they watched the fish this test dried persimmons. officials told the reporters that the readings were within the safety standard farmers recently resumed shipments of the crib after a three year hiatus. the reporter from among newspaper says he was impressed to see how hard people are working to ensure the safety of local produce because he too was in a home it's important to describe

things accurately the challenge to the preconceived notion that some people who had come reporters also visited the former peach orchard that's no use to store contaminated soil. they learned authorities were able to secure the use of such with the cooperation of locals. a new set of safety guidelines for nuclear facilities other than power plants has come into effect they will cover almost two hundred fifty facilities nationwide the rules are much stricter than before especially for reprocessing plant operators will need to take similar measures against savior accents as those who run nuclear plants in hk were all stacked up in the canary has more. in total two hundred and fourteen facilities across japan will be subject to conditions the new rules apply to new korean facilities such as nuclear fuel fabrication facility in kochi you back to perfection. as it can make

the trade body the nrma approved the rules last month in response to the two thousand of an accent at the completion of nineteen you grandpa. we know who you say to feast on this lovely now considering to her feet above until conditions than other difficulties. you might think they have staked the the severity of the requirements that is according to the type of facility. for instance showed a new person. history says react to in osaka is required to take measures to prevent accidental emissions of radioactive material the nme as personally regularly carry out inspections the strictest rules of play seek to pre processing plants and seven fuel fabrication facilities operators must take measures equivalent in nuclear power plants to prevent serious

accents such as hydrogen explosions and you create a new reactions. they need to have emergency measures in place. in case accused earthquakes and tsunami anticipating the new measures the upgrade to a rumpus or reprocessing plants in the economic picture has already installed some equipment sent to his audience. you can tell stories pools for spent fuel to prevent the fields are melting in the case of apollo lindsay also used gold is the air compressor to help prevent hackers and explosions. thus the plane in the lower the tigers and concentration. the plants in the case of the power of these. we need to use that as some local officials in that sense they feared the facilities. i stressed and psyche. i saw cd in alloys in st the vicinity of

the surface or the overnight hours as this cold air moves all the way from the north end and that storm system was off was a northeastern india see where the snow will be fought between midnight about three am. the widespread areas could be seen at least a dusting of accumulation portions of northern cod to see that twenty five to thirty centimeters though in some areas out here least by that was the west up to about thirty to thirty five centimeters so lot of it's coming down. the thing is once this does move off the beaches will rebound so downtown tokyo don't expect this to carry along. it's not to be some things can be lasting several days should melt by the afternoon hours and read near the coast is really getting the remaining upbringing out here. another storm system actually over korean movie to the sea japan will be moving over toward the sea of japan clothesline so i like to say this first ones moving away and then improving conditions but that's not the case either the sea japan coastal qaeda down for two whole cornucopia rico pocket pc and thunder snow believe it or not some gusty winds and a potential tornado. i saw a lot of rough weather throughout the rest

of the week by the fourth the west but tonight you are saying some unfair conditions but use of these gusty northerly winds and icy to bring some rain showers and thunderstorms down towards the philippines taipei was some rain showers shanghai setting your prey on the easing of three tokyo that rain snow mix still going today here especially for the morning hours on thursday. the stability of the americas what's going on out here well we have one low pressure area moving off your tours nepal's the alberta clipper we are talking about now it's moving out with the canadian maritime on your interview seen some fairly rough weather with this one the high end until you are to be seeing some improving conditions across much the northeast. there's a downside to that is my precious little work its way and it should be pumping in the warm air from the south the thinking well that sounds great but that's to be causing rapid snow now and all that well river right so there's the risk of flooding as a lot of snow starts to melt all that accumulation we've gotten over the past

several weeks out here just due to it does warm up or to the ca but it was the last also seeing some on rough weather we are the jet stream srting to get down across much of the rocky some parts that you can see upwards of about eighteen seventy years of accumulation is just going to be while i getting absolutely chilly down here towards the south in the software's the north would take only what i will boldly high as twenty two that's not including the windchill parts of the dakotas and also in northern montana and even sunset proportions of canada you can be seen as forty odd with the windchill in the low combined actually freeze it it said in the east though it will be a warming up out here for you. he also doubts with some staying above the effort. he underwent made us look above weather is forecast. i knew. i do. this

is line for this hour from all of those here as anywhere else. thanks to a cemetery scene where ever you are the eye. and. heck. rule. new

new. and some greens in this interview. and that he sees us. settling into food seasons and six. the you only see suits me. i
