thediplomat.com/2024/09/a-robot-begins-removal-of-melted-fuel-from-the-fukushima-nuclear-plant-it-could-take-a-century/

Quick Glance: Robot Initiates Removal of Melted Fuel at Fukushima

A robot has begun a two-week mission at the Fukushima nuclear plant to retrieve melted fuel debris.

This operation marks the first step in a decades-long effort to decommission the plant and manage approximately 880 tons of highly radioactive material.

The collected samples will be analyzed in various laboratories to gain insights into the meltdown and associated safety risks.

The full decommissioning process is projected to take between 30 to 100 years, facing numerous technical challenges and safety concerns.

Quick Glance: North Korea: Kim Jong Un Intensifies Nuclear Readiness

Kim Jong Un announced plans to make North Korea's nuclear forces fully combat-ready in response to threats from the United States and its allies.

In light of escalating geopolitical tensions, North Korea is expected to conduct provocative weapons tests, particularly ahead of the U.S. presidential elections in November.

The North Korean leader perceives the military expansion of a U.S.-led alliance as a grave threat, prompting efforts to enhance his country's military capabilities.

Recent balloon launches by North Korea towards South Korea represent a psychological warfare tactic in response to South Korean propaganda activities.
