Two U.S. guided robots have entered the buildings affected by the disaster-stricken central Fukushima I figures measuring radioactivity, hydrogen, temperature and humidity. The devices have detected high levels of radioactivity in the reactor buildings one and three, whose cooling system was badly damaged after the great earthquake and tsunami on 11 March.
Since then, operators of TEPCO, the company that operates the plant, have unsuccessfully tried to cool the reactors to prevent leakage of radioactive material. The aim of these measurements is to determine whether plant workers could access the reactors to restart the tasks of cooling, especially in the number three, where it has not entered any operator from the hydrogen explosion last month.
The readings of both reactors show a "harsh environment", too much for humans to work there, which complicates the task of repairing the cooling system. The figures come a day after the company that operates the plant said it hopes to have the nuclear crisis under control by the end of the year.
Meanwhile, new polls show that most Japanese people are dissatisfied with the management of the Government of the nuclear crisis. Polls published in three national newspapers indicate that the Japanese are losing patience over a month after the country was beaten by a scale 9 earthquake and devastating tsunami.
Two thirds of respondents say they support a tax increase to pay for reconstruction, whose cost is estimated at 300,000 million dollars, it ranks as the costliest natural disaster in history.
