TEPCO presents plan to extract melted rods

Tokyo Electric Power Company, or TEPCO, has announced a plan to extract melted nuclear fuel rods at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

TEPCO presented the 9-stage plan on Wednesday to an expert panel of the Atomic Energy Commission, which is discussing a process to decommission the plant's reactors.

Extraction of fuel rods that have leaked outside of reactors has never been performed at any nuclear plant.

TEPCO faces the tough challenges of coping with high levels of radiation and developing highly efficient robots.

Somewhere in between stage 3 and the final stage they are going to have to figure out how to repair the vessels if they expect them to hold water. They are also going to need technology that doesn't exist yet. Massive radiation is going to be a huge problem.

No problems, eeeeeverything is under control. Somewhere around 2025-2030...
