A photo taken by a remote controlled endoscope shows the damage from last year’s tsunami. The picture shows what appears to be “small size piping or cable conduit inside the beaker-shaped containment vessel of No. 2 reactor” at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant. The static seen in the photo is from “interference caused by radiation.”
Some of the images also show “metal surfaces that have become rusty because of months of heat and humidity.” The amount of water inside the reactors has been found to be less than estimated, which is good news since the water is what is cooling the reactors, and will eventually get them to a stable level.
