Japanese media exposure: 880 tons of nuclear residue! It may take up to 100 years to remove it all. According to Japanese media reports, plans to remove reactor core residue as part of the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant may be postponed for the third time. According to the latest reports from Nihon Keizai Shimbun and other Japanese media, the plan to remove nuclear residue was forced to be re-discussed because the inside of the reactor's cover was clogged with accumulation. It is estimated that as many as 880 tonnes of nuclear residue from the meltdown of fuel rods and other materials melted down in the Fukushima nuclear accident has been removed, and the removal of this nuclear residue is arguably a critical step in the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, but it is also the biggest challenge. The head of the Japan Atomic Energy Society, who is responsible for the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, also pointed out that it can take as little as 50 years to as long as 100 years to remove all nuclear residues.
