It's been 13 years since the triple meltdown caused by earthquake and tsunami knocked out the "fail-safe" cooling systems. Previous TEPCO robots have gone in to look at the remnants under the three melted down reactors only to stay there, conked out and fried by the incredibly high radiation levels.



TEPCO and Nuke Inc continue to lie, implying the containment vessels prevented the spread of radioactive materials. They leave out that the containment vessels themselves were compromised when pressure caused by "hydrogen gas build-up" caused them to explode. And while Fukushima Unit 1 and 2 meltdown and explosions were bad, Unit 3 is worse. That reactor used plutonium mixed-oxide fuel. Plutonium is one of the worst things in the world to breathe in.
