A small drone successfully flew inside one of the damaged reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on Wednesday. The drone, compact enough to fit in one's hand, aims to examine areas where previous robots failed to reach, specifically to investigate the molten fuel debris.
Simultaneously, Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings initiated the release of the fourth batch of treated radioactive wastewater from the plant into the sea. Despite assurances from the government and TEPCO regarding the safety of the water, the discharge has faced opposition from fishing groups and a ban on Japanese seafood by China.
