The Idaho National Laboratory is sending robots hardened against radiation, along with hardened cameras to Japan.

That’s according to officials with the U.S. Department of Energy.  The robots will be used where radiation levels are too high for people, at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.  The statements by Energy Department officials, about the INL robots, were made to a U.S. Senate panel on 29 March.

The U.S. department of Energy has sent, or is sending, 70 employees, along with tons of equipment, to help fight the nuclear disaster.

Just remember, this nuclear disaster is due to the lax disaster preparations of a Japanese capitalist corporation, and yet, the taxpayers of Japan are paying for it, and we taxpayers in the U.S. are paying for it. Corporations suck!
