Officials dealing with the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, said they will use military battle tanks as bulldozers, to clear away debris from around the reactors.

Japan’s military tanks have NBC protection. In the western militaries NBC stands for Nuclear Biological Chemical.  They have filtration and sealing systems to help prevent crews from contamination on the battlefield, in case of NBC attacks.

The damaged reactors have too much debris around them, and the sacrificial workers need it cleared way in order to complete their missions.
