the tokyo electric power company, tepco, is keen to show us — and, i guess, the world — just how muchdioactive debris has now been removed and how it is now possible to walk around most of the site without too much protective clothing. but to really understand the challenge the robots face in finding and removing the melted radioactive fuel, we do need to suit up. we are going inside unit five, which is identical to the units which were wrecked by the explosions. as you can imagine, it's really hot inside these suits. it's a confusing jumble of walkways and machinery, and it's difficult to appreciate that somewhere in here is a seven—storey—high tank of water called the primary containment vessel - the pcv. and now, it's time to go right underneath the reactor. wow! they think what happens after the meltdowns is that the molten fueljust burned through the bottom of the pcv and came down here, onto the what's known as the pedestal. that is where they think the fuel is now. it's difficult enough getting around this place on foot. now, imagine trying to remote control a robot through thi

we believe that tepco is lying about the effectiveness of these this unprecedented technology i mean you can you can use this to freeze under bodies of water you know soil so you can dig a tunnel but it's never been used in this kind of application to shore up against water moving into the this radioactive wreckage and so. plus isn't it i mean if the water is passing over the reactor of course the radioactive cores are not maybe literally read up but their damn hot they not only is it the ground water moving off the millions that they have to contend with but they're having to pour water over the. into the wreckage itself to keep the cores cool and we've been doing that for now is to heat if you're going to close the ice walls and just melt them more well you know again they're they're saying they're making claims that they're going to be able to freeze a wall but you know it might turn out to be just. a slushy and not really an ice wall at all but again how long and you know that they don't really know so stay tuned paul yeah having you know nukes yeah there you go thank you coming
