On the 8th of this month, TEPCO began an internal investigation by placing robots in the containment of Unit 1 of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, and confirmed the presence of a lumpy buildup in the water inside the containment through the image footage captured. TEPCO believes that the accumulation may contain "nuclear residue" and will investigate further for this purpose. In addition, Tokyo Electric Power Company has also published data from the robot's built-in radiation measuring instrument, with a radiation volume of 1 to 2 seaverts per hour.

Tokyo Electric Power Company plans to invest in other robots in Unit 1 to measure the thickness and distribution of sediments with ultrasonic waves, and to take a small number of samples for investigation and analysis. (Reporter He Xinlei)
