Melted fuel removal at Fukushima plant planned from 2020 at earliest

The government and Tokyo Electric Power Co. decided Thursday on a revised road map for decommissioning the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactors, eyeing the start of the removal of melted fuel in 2020 at the earliest.

The government believes it is possible to bring forward defueling by more than a year from the initial plan through an improvement in work efficiency. However, the exact date cannot be guaranteed with TEPCO not knowing at this point exactly where the fuel is located and in what state it is in.

It is the first major revision of the road map that outlines the 40-year-long process of scrapping the Nos. 1 to 4 units at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. The original schedule was released in December 2011, after the complex, ravaged by a huge earthquake and tsunami in March the same year, was brought under control.

so the 'road map', is

1. we don't know where there fuck it is
2. we will develop 'something' to retrieve it'
3. we will come up with somewhere to store it....

in the meantime we have a city, called fukushima that is off the map, and the populous is fucked.. not to mention everyone else

nice one TEPCO after denying payouts to anyone and hiking prices.
