Japan speeds up spent fuel removal plans from Fukushima Reactor 4

Japan’s nuclear crisis minister, Goshi Hosono, told Reuters in an interview that workers at Fukushima Daiichi will begin removing spent fuel from the Reactor 4 by the end of the year, adding, “We would like to start taking out undamaged fuel this year. Preparation is now under way.”

Doing it quickly is important. But we also have to make sure those workers out there, who are struggling under harsh conditions, will not be endangered by trying to move things fast.”
