#  TEPCO release images from inside Fukushima Daiichi

 Written by Zoe Rutherford on 22 March 2024.

13 years on from the meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station, operating company TEPCO have released 12 photos from inside the site, which are the first ever images from inside the main structural support called the pedestal in the hardest-hit reactor's primary containment vessel, an area directly under the reactor's core.

The images, with explanations as to what they depict can be viewed here[ https://photo.tepco.co.jp/en/date/2024-e/202403-e/240318-01e.html](https://photo.tepco.co.jp/en/date/2024-e/202403-e/240318-01e.html)
