NHK has learned that the operator of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant plans to postpone removing radioactive debris from inside a reactor because preparatory tests have been disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic.

Tokyo Electric Power Company had planned to conduct robotic arm experiments in Britain in August, but the plan was suspended due to the pandemic. Transporting the robotic arm to Japan would be difficult.
