Yokohama, Japan (AFP) Feb 15, 2013
A remote controlled robot that uses dry ice to vacuum up radiation was
unveiled by Japanese researchers on Friday, the latest innovation to
help the clean-up at Fukushima.
The caterpillar-tracked device blasts dry ice - frozen CO2 - against
floors and walls, evaporating and carrying radioactive substances with
it, engineers said. The nozzle also sucks up the resulting gases.
