ATOMIC POWER REVIEW

Can you interpret the video? Without the gamma camera or other readout, it's hard to tell much.
ReplyDeleteThere's a point at the very end of the video where the imagery becomes very noisy -- is that associated with the area of higher radiation? (I don't know if these robots are on a cable or using wireless; it could be just noise from increasing distance, I guess).
@hank: The robot is just following the track shown in the diagram. Hard to say why the video gets worse. I think it is likely that TEPCO will produce some detailed illustrations of both the outdoor and indoor hot spots fairly shortly and that will give everyone a better visual conception.
