Five Robots were sent to capture the images to estimate the damage and to remove the blobs of fuel with each weighing around hundreds of tonnes. However, no robot returned when they were sent into the reactors. Aftermath of the deadly earthquake, robots were sent into the core of the plant to eliminate fuel rods including amount of radiation in each building and it was not possible for the humans to enter the core of this nuclear plant. It seems that even Robots can’t resist in a nuclear disaster. Five years have passed and the researchers from Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) [Owner of the plant] can’t still discover the way in order to remove the dangerous radio-active water including melted fuel rods from the site. However, it is still unsure whether the powerful robots may be the answer to remove the mess from the nuclear plants. Also, technology to make robots which can resist in high levels of radiation doesn’t exist. Tepco researchers may come with different solution.
