On 12/12/2012, Fukushima Diary reported about the investigation of reactor2 by using a robot of 12/11/2012. [Link]
Tepco attempted another investigation on 12/12/2012 again, but it fell down and 2 human workers rescued it to have 0.5 mSv/h exposure.
It fell over when it slowly stepped up the stairway and stopped by the wall behind. Toshiba related workers took it to the charging point, where is over 10m away from the stairway.

Le robot nucléaire s’est cassé la figure et a eu besoin du secours de deux ouvriers
Le 12 décembre 2012, le Fukushima Diary rapportait que l’exploration du réacteur 2 s’était faite la veille en utilisant un robot. [Lien]
Tepco a tenté une autre exploration ce 12 décembre 2012 mais il est tombé et 2 travailleurs humains ont du lui porter secours et prendre 0,5 mSv/h d’exposition.
Il est tombé alors qu’il montait lentement un escalier et s’est arrêté contre le mur en arrière. Des ouvriers de Toshiba l’ont pris pour le ramener au point de recharge (électrique, il est autonome), à plus de 10 m de l’escalier.

just demonstrates that robots can not be relied on to do the simplest for tasks. Clean up has to be done by human toil…. which is very dangerous… and most areas can not even be approached by humans for decades.
They harmed these workers for such a silly and useless effort. Who thinks these 1980s Johnny Five robots will actually be able to do anything? First as tragedy, then as farce…
0.5 mSv/h only? Why need robots there?^^
My first and natural instinct is to feel disgusted, angry and betrayed. But this is the reality of Japan today. However, we need to, at least encourage these idiots to do better, try harder, achieve!
@Tepco: If you need a cam somewhere… just place it there, does only take one walk. This bullshit is overblown. You can take copter-drones with cams if you need to film sneaky spots at all. What are these walking-robots useful for? Does government pay toshiba ?! … seems so.
the first thought that went thru my mind is-WHY USE THE STAIRS?! put wheels up on the arms on the robot & have it run up on the stair rails! These people are NOT thinking clearly.
This is reality of USA, France, Russia, UK, etc …
The Japan tragedy is not a surprise and tragedies are expected elsewhere with this nuclear industry.
