An operator controls a robot that looks like an enlarged fiberscope during a demonstration for the media at a government facility in Hitachi, Ibaraki Prefecture. The robot, developed by Japanese electronics giant Hitachi and its nuclear affiliate Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy, is ready to examine in April the damage inside the No. 1 reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
