[Nuclear robot] Drives at 0.2km/h, runs for 1 hour on battery

Toshiba developed two of the nuclear robot for Fukushima and released the specification.

However, it doesn’t look adequate to decommission 4 reactors.

 

1. Small vehicle

Battery : 1 hour
Speed : 0.2km/h
Status : Run with a wire
(Going for 100m, coming back, then the battery needs to be recharged.)

2. Four legs robot

Battery : 2 hours
Speed : 1km/h
Load capacity : 20kg
Status : Wireless

[Robots nucléaires] Roule à 0,2 km/h, autonomie 1 heure sur batteries

Toshiba a développé deux des robots nucléaires pour Fukushima et publié leurs spécifications.
Toutefois, ils ne semblent pas très adaptés au démantèlement de 4 réacteurs.

1. Petit véhicule

Autonomie : 1 heure
Vitesse : 0,2 km/h
État : fonctionne avec un câble
(Avance sur 100 m, revient, ensuite les batteries doivent être rechargées.)

2. Robot quadrupède

Autonomie : 2 heures
Vitesse : 1 km/h
Capacité de charge : 20 kg
État : Sans fil

[Robot Nucleare] Si muove a 0.2 Km/h, autonomia a batteria di 1 ora

La Toshiba ha sviluppato due robot nucleari per Fukushima e rilasciato le specifiche.
Ad ogni modo, non sembra adeguato per smantellare 4 reattori.

1 Veicolo piccolo
Batteria: 1 ora
Velocità: 0.2 km/h
Stato: Funziona a corrente
(Avanza per 100m, ritorna indietro, dopodiché le batterie vanno ricaricate)

2. Robot a 4 gambe
Batteria: 2 ore
Velocità: 1km/h
Capacità di carico: 20kg
Stato: Wireless

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.
