An official of the Tokyo Electric Power Co., wearing a protective suit and a mask, measures radiation inside the building housing the Unit 4 reactor at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant in Okuma, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, Thursday, Nov. 7, 2013. Japanese regulators on Oct. 30 gave preliminary approval for the removal of fuel rods from the cooling pool at the damaged Unit 4 reactor building considered the highest risk at the crippled nuclear plant. Removing the fuel rods is the first major step in a decommissioning process that is expected to last decades at the Fukushima plant, where three reactors melted down after the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
