Tokyo Electric Power Company's (TEPCO) head of decommissioning admitted on Thursday (https://www.japantoday.com/category/national/view/fukushima-cleanup-chief-urges-better-use-of-probe-robot) that more creativity was needed in developing its robots sent to the reactive zone.
The Fukushima nuclear power plant was massively damaged in 2011 (http://mashable.com/2014/03/11/three-years-after-fukushima/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial), when three of the six nuclear reactors suffered meltdown after being struck by a 9.0-magnitude earthquake and associated tsunami waves.
