Robot sent to Chernobyl

A team of government researchers, academic organizations and private industries has developed a robot that will be sent to the Chernobyl nuclear reactor in Ukraine to help detect problems. The robot, which uses technology from Silicon Graphics, will scan the reactor, sending researchers a photo-realistic, 3D image that can be checked for problems.
