Essentially the core of any reactor has such high levels of radioactivity that not even robots can operate with a life of more than a couple of hours.
BALONEY!!! That is just a bunch of FABRICATED CRAP. You obviously don't have ANY credentials in nuclear science or metallurgy; so why do you MAKE UP CRAP!!!. Why can't you just be honest that you don't know the science?
I showed you that plants were dismantled in the USA; and how do you think they got dismantled if robots fail after a few hours.
The answer is they don't; and you just MADE UP CRAP.
What I refer to as "dismantling" is what the NRC calls "dismantling" and it is the complete removal of the whole plant as with Big Rock Point.
Did you even LOOK at the site like I suggested. There's NOTHING there but a big rectangular area of dirt.
Now if things where like you claim; how did that happen?
The answer is you FABRICATED the CRAP about the vessel being too hot to deal with.
When the reactor is operating; at refueling outages; they defuel the reactor and send DIVERS in to check the vessel, for Heaven's sake!!

"Too hot for robots" is BALONEY
The good thing about science is that it is true, whether or not you believe in it.
