@GeorgeGibb et al. Now as I see link referrals to essential sources coming in, perhaps it might be possible in some way to set up a sidebar widget that displays basic categorized menu of links, so that followers can conserve bandwidth by not having to search up and down the posts? Thanks!

Not seeing as much steam or 'white smoke' from the Daiichi site at 11am local time www.tepco.co.jp

The air is getting warmer, that might be a factor as to how much steam is seen.

@amianda.. Right..Although it looks cloudy. If it rains..who knows what effect it has on stabilization efforts

Very cool we kept the format, maybe we can have some reuters reporters drop by ;)

unfortunately i have to go for a few hours. Keep up the blogging, guys. I lurked on the Reuters stream but I relied on it. Lets make this one as useful as that. Thanks.

it seams to have a 100mb file size limit for video

Thanks, George et al. So much better than Facebook. Been lurking through Reuters since the beginning of the Japan blog.

Guys, on a scale of 1-10, how bad would you say this situation is right now? Forget Chernobyl, just honestly, where are we at? I think at least 8 out of 10 and every potential of 10 out of 10 based on the news.

Thanks to all who intend to sign up for mod duties. For now, we mostly come from the previous incarnation of the Reuters Scribble, so we pretty much have a good feel for the moderation ambience. Let's endeavor to keep up the modding esprit de corps and strive always for the good of all (see what happened in Japan when a few twisted their honored discipline and honor code and brought Fukushima on all the world?) It's all up to us and nobody else to keep up excellence and public interest as top of mind. Let's get with this!

I think it is worse then Chernobyl, as it continues to occur. 2-3 days of fires at Chernobyl. 14 days of this now?

Yes George, I'm in for mod if you need it as well. I'll be on following this for large blocks of time anyway.

ok thanks radioguy - i'm trying to set up the first moderator now
by George Gibb 3/26/2011 2:10:54 AM

Woah, they are updating. I'm gonna see what's going on, I worry something has happened we don't know about.
by Grizzly 3/26/2011 2:10:57 AM

Thanks so much for this George. I have learned so much from the community on Reuters site. Very much appreciated.
by Stormy 3/26/2011 2:11:35 AM

I was so saddened to see Reuters Live Coverage was gone so soon. Thanks so much for settin this one up. I have been a silent observer all along, just soaking up the information and sending it to friends in Japan when relevant to their situation. Nice to have this familiar format back. Thanks George, and I will update my information disemination to include this location.

the potential for the worst nuclear disaster in human history is there. but right now, from what we know, most of the evil evil stuff is still contained. so though every day brings us closer, in my opinion we are still not there, and not where chernobyl was. remember, soviets threw nearly a million of people at the thing, burying it and cleaning the worst up..

I also think that the concern of the reactors leaking is just silly. The fuel storage pools are exposed to the air already. They have the same fuel in them as the reactors.
by Ralph Unger 3/26/2011 2:12:26 AM

I think UrvashiSibal told them that she wants to do it regardless what they say! I think it's back guys!
by Grizzly 3/26/2011 2:14:25 AM

Why the media blackout? NHK-World Live English and the Reuters message board; all gone in smoke! Thank you very much for those responsible for setting this site up! Great effort!

I think, that this www.meteoblue.com is one of the best weather forecast. I tried to see predictions for my location and it works pretty good.
