Data drone lands on Fukushima reactor building
AN 8.2 kilo drone aircraft gathering data from heavily damaged areas of the Fukushima nuclear plant lost control Friday and landed on the roof.
The drone landed on the roof of the No. 2 reactor building, according to the plant’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO).
The vehicle, known as a T-Hawk, is about 7.9 inches (20 centimeters) in diameter and looks like a small jet pack. It is used primarily by the military for reconnaissance work in dangerous areas. It has been used at Fukushima since mid-April to assist in damage assessment.
The company said that there did not appear to be any damage from the impact of the vehicle, with no fire or smoke observed following the accident. It was not known if the vehicle was damaged.
TEPCO spokesman Junichi Matsumoto said that due to its small size and weight, the drone was “unlikely to crash through the rooftop and damage the reactor.”

Q: how much radiation does it take to damage the electronics on a drone?
A: a lot
yes..that thick you can probably see it ( i know its invisible )
This is even stranger that the jellyfish that blocked a cooling pipe earlier this week, although that has happened before.

“Jellyfish sounded the retreat on Friday after blocking an all-important seawater cooling pipe at a western Japanese nuclear power plant, the plant operator said”
Act 3- Today in Japan, a killer whale leapt into…….
But it is not really funny, does not seem to be going well, not good.

give YOU this pretty a rticle no?
“Up next – Mothra!” thinking sad is lol
yes thx
not pretty opps is pretty good article is what meant to say
recently i watched a documentary, The Cove, about killing dolphins in japan. It kind of reflects very well japanese attiude. When they feel ashamed or feel like they have not done the proper thing, just cover it up.
and yes, the drone not working tings the alarm bell, too much radioation going out of the wrecked reactor? probably yes.
thanks la vida..they have shame issues no doubt..
