Robot starts 2nd mission to retrieve debris at the ruined Fukushima nuclear plant
- A remote-controlled robot has begun its second mission to collect melted fuel debris at the Fukushima nuclear plant, which was damaged by a tsunami 14 years ago.
- The current mission aims to retrieve samples from areas closer to the reactor's center, where more melted fuel is located.
- This retrieval is part of a long-term decommissioning process, which experts estimate could take over a century to complete.
- The first debris collection attempt in November marked an important step in addressing at least 880 tons of melted nuclear fuel within the damaged reactors.
