I saw on NHK where they said they are using pumps to remove water from the turbine rooms and pumping it into a chamber beside it called the condensation chamber. Any thoughts about that? Also, this article www.guardthe first time I heard of the workers employed ian.co.uk has an interview of a worker present during the earthquake in the turbine room of reactor number 1, in which he states " was in the turbine room next to reactor No 1 when the earthquake hit. "I couldn't stand," he said. "The window above my head shattered and parts of the ceiling fell in."

don't know how to link... article is on MSNBC.COM Japan nuclear plant worker recalls narrow escape.... but standard procedure is an immediate "incident review" due to situtation, "immediate" is a vauge word.. but this info both employee exposure and #3 enviroment conitions could be helpful in trying to acertain condition of the equipment.. also some one wrote back could be prv (safety feature) which could be quite possible... interview with workers would help to know if that was what happened..

@Sinthia Domina The first time I heard reports about the workforce from zerohedge I thought it was exagerated.

@Sinthia, the NHK about pumping water back into the condenser. That is the one I was looking for confirmation. Thanks.

I don't know if everyone has read this article but it's visually descriptive and offers some explanation as to why we aren't getting much info-no matter how hard we try...

tenzing.. that article is the bare truth and to compound the problem, years ago the Department of Energy said.. they would have a facility to store the spent fuel in a repository and it was built with alot of controversy from the residents of nevada. the facility basically was ready for certification to hold the waste from the commercial reactors but, things like changes in the house and senate and presidents, along with a strong opposition by nevadans.. a court ruled that it would not be used yet.. then recently the Obama administration said.. we will close yukka mountain..

@Maureen. The Independent article is very poignant. Thanks for posting it.
by Sky 3/27/2011 1:44:56 AM

since then the administration has reversed their support of nuclear and so now, they will have to do something about a central storage.. maybe re-addressing the YUKKA MOUNTAIN ISSUE..
by Dean 3/27/2011 1:45:15 AM

UNTIL THEN.. commercial reactors keep running and keep trying to find ways to store fuel...

I've been lurking since the beginning but now I have to ask, has anyone noticed the IAEA report today states that cesium 137 was found in the sea water samples and in leeks? Isn't cesium 137 present during fission?
