Fukushima disaster has become hopeless – act now to save your family from future radioactive catastrophes

Efforts to clean up the ongoing radioactive mess at Fukushima have failed once again after an experimental robot “died” just three hours into a roving expedition inside Unit 1, one of three reactors at the Japanese nuclear complex that experienced a meltdown following the 2011 disaster. And a top expert now admits that it will likely be many years before any viable solution to the problem is developed, signifying that all hope might now be lost.
The Guardian reports that the robot, which was hoped to be able to sustain the high levels of radiation inside the reactor, which is still inaccessible to humans, failed to successfully retrieve nuclear fuel and capture the intended imagery and radiation levels to help move along the cleanup process. Rather than operate for roughly 10 hours as intended, the robot stopped moving very early on, suggesting that radiation levels inside the unit are still exceptionally high.
Developed by Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy and the International Institute for Nuclear Decommissioning, the robot had been designed to be a “transformer,” of sorts, capable of altering its shape to tackle debris and other unknown terrain inside the failed reactor. And while it reached 14 of the 18 intended locations prior to failing, the robot’s operators say they aren’t exactly sure why it failed.
“[T]he robot was supposed to be able to function for about 10 hours even when exposed to radiation at levels that would cause ordinary electronic devices to malfunction,” wrote Justin McCurry for The Guardian. “[O]fficials said… they had yet to establish the cause of the problem.”
