Cameras attached to a device used to retrieve radioactive debris from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant are believed to have failed due to overcurrent caused by strong radiation, according to Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. The cameras have been relocated to a metal containment box outside the reactor containment vessel of the plant’s No. 2 reactor, and no abnormalities were observed on their exteriors, TEPCO stated at a regular press conference on Thursday. In an attempt to restore functionality, TEPCO will remotely turn the cameras on and off at intervals of a few days until around October 3rd. However, as there is a possibility that the cameras may need replacement, resuming operations is currently uncertain. The company had initially planned to collect debris remotely while monitoring footage from these cameras due to high radiation levels inside the containment box. On September 17th, it was discovered that two out of four cameras attached to the device were disabled by an issue.
