The quarter rig (imagine cutting a 90 degree cross section out of the reactor and plonking it into a rig hall) we made was for a remote solution we did for EDF for some of the nuclear fleet in the UK. As much as it would have been fun to make a full size to scale rig, it would have cost a small dortune and we are a business afterall and profit is our end goal. So we only made enough of it to be able to train the operators to deploy the kit on site.
In terms of Fukushima, the manipulator we are developing will eventually have a testing rig built for it, however we have only just been involved on the project in the last month and as such haven't reached a stage where we need to build the rig yet. With the Japanese government funding though I imagine it will be a similar job with a scale rig.
1) in the past the mocks was just a subset portion of the reactor (ie the quarter that is relevant to operations)
Hopefully I didn't mangle your words, but this is how I understood your phrasing.
