Fukushima Daiichi
Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings unveiled a new robot arm on Wednesday for the project to remove nuclear fuel debris from its tsunami-crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant. The 22-meter-long arm can grab debris from a wider area than the previously used fishing rod-like devices. Tepco plans to begin setting it up next month and start the third trial at the No. 2 reactor this autumn.

A U.S. nuclear decommissioning firm, Amentum Services Inc., plans to establish a training center in Futaba, Fukushima Prefecture, by 2029 to prepare workers for fuel debris removal at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant. The initiative anticipates full-scale operations as early as 2037 and seeks to build a steady supply of skilled personnel in collaboration with Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. (TEPCO).
