According to TEPCO, robotically taken pictures of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi Unit 2 appear to show melted fuel submerged in water at the bottom of the reactor. Roughly 900 tons of melted nuclear fuel are inside the 3 reactors, damaged in the 3-11 tsunami. The original removal estimate was 2024, but will now take at least until 2050.
