Ten years after tsunami, Fukushima cleanup just starting

The video discusses the extensive efforts required to clean up leaking nuclear reactors, which are expected to take 30 years and cost over $76 billion. The focus is on removing nuclear fuel, dismantling reactors, and managing contaminated water. Challenges include the danger of inspecting reactors and the limitations of robotic technology. Japan has already spent $295 billion on recovery, and new technologies like mechanical arms are being tested to aid in debris retrieval. Contaminated water treatment is limited, as it cannot remove tritium.
