TEPCO Conducts Endoscopy of No.3 Reactor (I COULD MAKE A PROCTOLOGY JOKE HERE BUT I'LL REFRAIN FOR NOW)
 The operator of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has conducted the first endoscopic probe of the container that houses the core of its Number 3 reactor.
 Workers with Tokyo Electric Power Company on Tuesday inserted cameras and other measuring instruments into a pipe leading to the inside of the reactor containment vessel. The unit suffered a meltdown in the March 2011 disaster, along with 2 other reactors.
 The workers found radiation levels in the vessel as high as one sievert per hour. The levels were lower than those measured in the containers of the Number 1 and 2 reactors. They also confirmed that the vessel was filled with water to a height of about 6.4 meters.
***WAIT UNTIL YOU READ THIS!*** "The operator says Tuesday's survey found no major damage to the facility as far as it could see."
 TEPCO officials suspect that most of the nuclear fuel in the reactor melted through the core and dropped into the containment vessel.
 But the workers were not able to see the bottom of the vessel, as what appears to be accumulated dust in the water was in the way of the endoscope.
 TEPCO plans to conduct a similar operation on Thursday. The officials will also discuss the timing of robotic probes based on the results of the endoscopy.
 The utility had earlier conducted endoscopic and robot inspections of the interiors of the Number 1 and 2 reactors.

Missouri community says rise in cancer linked to radioactive waste exposure https://youtu.be/iADYBnRKXYQ 
A community near St. Louis, Missouri claims that a rise in the incidence of cancers in the area is related to exposure to nuclear waste dating back to the Manhattan Project. Residents complain that the US government has been slow in studying the effect of radioactive residues on the populace. Marina Portnaya reports.

The site where much of the nuclear waste from testing since the 1970's has caught fire. BEATTY, Nevada (KSNV News3LV) -- A fire at an ecology site in Beatty, about 120 miles northwest of Vegas, has resulted in several explosions and may involve low-level nuclear waste. News 3 Las Vegas: The U.S. Ecology site, which studies the risk that buried contaminants pose to wildlife, is known to have nuclear waste buried in the area, along with many other chemicals. The fire started at 5:30 P.M. last night, and flooding has reportedly prevented fire crews from approaching the area. In a press release Governor Brian Sandoval says he is going to mobilize state resources to fight the fire.
It may be time to see the potentially ghastly consequences of storing nuclear waste, and it likely won't be good for the health of Nevadans.

Abe visits former evacuated town in Fukushima
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has renewed his pledge to oversee the reconstruction of areas hit by the 2011 nuclear accident in northeastern Japan.

Abe visited the Fukushima Prefecture town of Naraha on Monday. The town's evacuation order was lifted in September.

Most of the residents fled their homes following the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant four years ago.

Townspeople meeting with Abe asked for his help in rebuilding their lives and restoring local industries.

Abe said it's important that the people return to live in the town and take up their occupations again. He said the government will do all it can to help them accomplish both goals.

Abe also spoke at the opening ceremony of a facility in the town for testing robots that will be used to decommission the crippled nuclear reactors.

He said within a few years the facility will host both researchers from Japan and abroad developing cutting-edge decommissioning technologies.

He said the government will join hands with locals to accelerate reconstruction of disaster-hit areas.
