The removal of nuclear fuel from the Fukushima No. 2 reactor pool has commenced, marking a significant step in the ongoing recovery efforts following the 2011 disaster.
Despite this progress, radiation levels in the reactor building remain elevated, posing challenges to the decommissioning process. The situation underscores the long-term impact of the nuclear accident on both the environment and public health.
The Fukushima No. 2 reactor was part of the broader nuclear crisis triggered by the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami in March 2011.
The initiation of fuel removal at Fukushima No. 2 is a critical milestone, yet it also highlights the persistent risks associated with nuclear energy.
