The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant suffered severe damage in 2011, resulting in the melting of various materials and the formation of highly radioactive molten core-concrete interactions. The plant still emits high levels of heat and requires daily cooling and decontamination. Decommissioning the plant is costly and hazardous, with the need to break through the radioactive material using robots. The required strength for these robots remains a critical question.
