TEPCO presents plan to extract melted rods
Tokyo Electric Power Company, or TEPCO, has announced a plan to extract melted nuclear fuel rods at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
TEPCO presented the 9-stage plan on Wednesday to an expert panel of the Atomic Energy Commission, which is discussing a process to decommission the plant's reactors.
The first 3 stages of TEPCO's plan are devoted to removing radioactive materials from the reactors' buildings to repair containment vessels and stop water leaks.
The utility plans to then put water in the vessels and take pictures to determine the amount of nuclear fuel that has leaked from the reactors.
In the final stage, the company plans to fill the vessels with water and use robots to extract the rods.
Sarcophagus is more realistic
