TEPCO has once again postponed the start of work on the extraction of molten and damaged fuel from the reactor of Unit No. 2 of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
This is reported by Asahi Shimbun.
In December 2020, the company announced the abandonment of plans to start extracting fuel at the second unit in 2021. Now it has become known that these works will not begin in 2022.
The reason for the deadline shift is the unavailability of the robotic manipulator, which is being developed jointly by Veolia Nuclear Solutions and MHI.

Russia has adopted a strategy providing for the formation of two-component nuclear power with fast and thermal reactors. And this means that the VVER technology will remain in our country.
