TOKYO — Decommissioning the wrecked reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant will take 40 years and require the use of robots to remove melted fuel that appears to be stuck to the bottom of the reactors’ containment vessels, the Japanese government said Wednesday.
The predictions were contained in a detailed plan for fully shutting down the three reactors, which suffered meltdowns after an earthquake and tsunami struck the plant March 11.
