Tokyo Electric Power Company has officially commenced a long-awaited examination of the interior of a Fukushima nuclear reactor. This investigative effort had faced multiple previous delays, which the utility provider attributed to various technical challenges. Specifically, the company cited the necessity of clearing away hazardous debris and the requirement to swap out monitoring equipment, such as cameras, to ensure the operation could proceed safely. This inspection marks a significant step in the ongoing decommissioning process at the site, as the firm works to assess internal conditions that have remained largely inaccessible since the disaster.
