- curtis 16y agoEven if a robot lasted for only a few hours it could still be extremely useful. If nothing else, it might allow the emergency workers to tell for sure how much water is in those spent fuel pools.
- moe 16y agoTrue. My wild guess is that they probably already know the state of the fuel-pools from the helicopter flights - the roofs being blown off and all. On the other hand, watching those Chernobyl documentaries is not exactly faith-inducing. Considering Chernobyl was one reactor going mad and Fukushima is what, four? I don't even want to imagine what those 50 guys are going through.
