A robot that has spent months inside the ruins of a nuclear reactor at the tsunami-hit Fukushima Daiichi plant delivers a tiny sample of melted nuclear fuel.

The sample, the size of a grain of rice, was placed into a secure container, marking the end of the mission.

Officials had been concerned that it might be too radioactive to be safely tested even with heavy protective gear.
