Robot ventures inside radioactive ruins of Fukushima power plant
Robot ventures inside radioactive ruins of Fukushima power plant, 9 News,
By Raffaella Ciccarelli • Producer 14 Feb 22, Melted nuclear fuel has been filmed in the bowels of Unit 1 of Japan’s Fukushima Power Plant as a remote controlled submarine navigated the radioactive ruins of the plant.
The remote-controlled device took to waters surrounding the plant on February 9 as part of ongoing clean-up efforts by plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings (TEPCO).
It comes more than a decade after the plant’s catastrophic meltdown in 2011……………………
In 2016 Japan Times reported the area inside the reactors were contaminated by 530 sieverts of radiation per hour.
Exposure to 10 sieverts is fatal to a human, with death occurring within weeks.
Clean-up efforts are ongoing and TEPCO has a decommissioning target of 2051.
It’s been estimated it will take 30 more years and $106 billion to remove intact nuclear fuel at the bottom of the plants. https://www.9news.com.au/world/fukushima-japan-robot-ventures-inside-radioactive-ruins-of-unit-1/8d333107-b6c6-4909-b2ac-da21e873169d

8.30 p.m TOTEM & ORE
Australia, 2019, Director & Producer: John Mandelberg, Executive Producer: Bozic Wongar,Actress and speaker: Ursula Yovich, documentary, with German subtitles, 97 min.
German premiereThe film begins in 1945 with the atomic annihilation of Hiroshima and ends with the Fukushima meltdown in 2011. It examines the aftermath of atomic bombs, nuclear weapons tests and the Fukushima reactor accident. Radioactive fallout from the British nuclear tests in the 1950s and 1960s at Emu Field and Maralinga in South Australia not only contaminated large parts of the Australian outback. Radioactive rain also reached cities like Adelaide. Above all, however, the Aborigines have suffered from this to this day.
“Totem & Ore” tells the historical tragedies and fears from the point of view of witnesses of the atomic bombing and atomic bomb tests. Indigenous people, activists, filmmakers, artists, actors, writers, composers, doctors and professors all have their say. Ursula Yovich, a Native American actress, appeals: “There must be no more place in the world for nuclear weapons!”
Totem & Ore received a special recognition from the 2022 International Uranium Film Festival
