Robot sends back footage from inside Fukushima plant (video)
Whilst the footage, captured by a "packbot", confirmed that electricity and water supplies inside the reactor were undamaged, monitoring equipment showed that radiation levels were far higher than expected.

The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) said it will combat the danger by installing fans with filters at the damaged reactor in an attempt to reduce radiation inside to one-twentieth of current levels.
