Robots are being deployed at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in order to measure radiation levels and other conditions after the recent earthquake in Japan.

Robots sent into Fukushima nuclear plant
Packbots, made by US robotics company iRobot Corp, have been sent into the damaged nuclear power plant to measure radiation, oxygen and temperature levels within the reactor.
Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) sent them into the Nos 1 and 3 reactor buildings on Sunday and then the No 2 reactor on Monday, one month after the robots arrived in Japan.
