   "...lack of sufficient confirmation on simple-task procedures led to...pipes used in the trial extraction [being] placed in the wrong order...resulting in the suspension of efforts to extract...3 grams of fuel debris...using a telescopic device over about 2 weeks"

   🔸No confidence in a company, which can't carry out simple tasks, dealing with complexities of nuclear power. #TEPCO should've been disbanded years ago.

     Also, don't know TEPCO's long term plan, but removing estimated 880 tons of debris at 3g/2 weeks takes about 11.3 million years.
     It's one way to deal with half-lives of radioactive isotopes on site as no final disposal site of Fukushima nuclear debris has been decided.😬
