Fifteen years after a devastating earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster, Japan's Fukushima region has completed major reconstruction and reopened 97.8% of evacuated areas. Communities once abandoned are welcoming residents and tourists back as radiation drops to normal levels.
A massive snake-like robot is giving engineers their best shot yet at safely removing radioactive debris from the Fukushima nuclear plant 15 years after the devastating 2011 tsunami. The 22-meter device can navigate tight spaces where humans can't go, bringing hope to one of history's toughest cleanup projects.
A four-legged robot named Spot has successfully completed the first trial of taking contamination swabs in a radioactive area at Sellafield, potentially keeping workers out of hazardous zones. The technology could transform how nuclear sites monitor safety across the UK.
Four-legged robots are now doing the jobs too dangerous for humans at Sellafield, one of the world's most complex nuclear facilities. The innovation is accelerating cleanup while keeping workers safe from radiation exposure.
Four-legged robots now roam one of the world's most hazardous nuclear sites, keeping human workers safe while speeding up a massive cleanup operation. Sellafield's robotic helpers can go where humans shouldn't, gathering critical data without anyone needing protective gear.
