Japan's Fukushima site waste is BLOCKING robot probes

Robot probes sent in to study Japan's Fukushima site keep failing during their recon missions. The radiation levels at the site are so high that previous clean-up bots have struggled to withstand conditions within the reactor for long. Now the head of decommissioning for the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant said on Thursday that the company's robots were not able to get close enough to the core area.
