Continuing cleanup of Fukushima pool

Continuing cleanup of Fukushima pool

A large twisted steel truss has been removed from the fuel pool of Fukushima Daiichi 3 as part of efforts to clear debris from the pond and service floor area.
Securing long-term safety for used fuel in the four damaged reactor buildings is the main priority for Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco). The storage pools on the top floors of the buildings are littered with heavy concrete and steel wreckage after the hydrogen explosions that followed the core melts of March 2011.http://energyandnuclear.com/2013/02/08/continuing-cleanup-of-fukushima-pool/?goback=.gde_2437005_member_212359061
