The second endoscope operation is planned for 3/26 and 27

Following up this article..Result of endoscope operation on 1/19/2012

Tepco is going to endoscope operation for reactor 2 on 3/26 and 3/27 again.
Last time they estimated the water level was 4m above from the bottom but they couldn’t have endoscope reach.
They are going to use the one of 20m, which is longer than last time.

東京電力は22日、福島第1原発2号機の格納容器内を内視鏡で見る2度目の調査を26、27日に実施すると発表した。前回より奥に内視鏡を入れ、溶けて固まった燃料を冷却している水の高さや水温を調べる。
1月19日に行った初めての調査では、水位が東電の想定よりも低く、水面が確認できなかった。このため前回より長い20メートルの工業用内視鏡を使い、格納容器の床から4メートル以下にある水面を確認する計画。放射線量も調べる。

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
