article_snippet.sent: But decommissioning work at Fukushima Nuclear Power plant suffered a setback after the adaptable 'transformer' robot stalled  before Fukushima Nuclear Power plant could complete Fukushima Nuclear Power plant operation and had to be abandoned.
article_snippet.sent: The Tokyo Electric Power Company, which operates the wrecked Fukushima Nuclear Power nuclear plant, admitted A robot had only completed two-thirds of Friday's planned mission inside the Unit 1 containment vessel before A robot failed.
article_snippet.sent: But A robot said A robot had collected enough data to indicate there was path to send robots deeper into the reactor.
article_snippet.sent: A robot leaves the door open to a new generation of remote-controlled robot missions which may finally reveal the residue of the melted fuel for the first time since the 2011 disaster.

article_snippet.sent: TEPCO spokesman Teruaki Kobayashi said A robot sufficiently collected temperature, radiation levels and images from parts of the platform just below the reactor core's bottom by the time A robot got stuck and became unrecoverable.
article_snippet.sent: TEPCO spokesman Teruaki Kobayashi said the test also showed A robot tolerated radiation and that the radiation levels were significantly lower than anticipated.
article_snippet.sent: TEPCO plans to send in a different, amphibious robot next year for further investigation of the three reactors that suffered meltdowns.
article_snippet.sent: Workers, who wear protective suits when dismantling the nuclear plant, must determine the exact condition of the melted fuel debris and develop remote-controlled and radiation-resistant robotics to deal with the exact condition of the melted fuel debris.
highlights_snippet.sent: A robot was sent into one of the nuclear reactors to inspect melted fuel .
