by worldradioman 3/27/2011 6:38:15 AM

@FradyKat - I would've liked to have seen that one.
by JMV 3/27/2011 6:39:02 AM

OK, now I have bearings, what is that hotspot under the NHK text above R2?
by worldradioman 3/27/2011 6:40:26 AM

@JMV they only had about 5-8 seconds of video, then switched to something else.

@Tenzing - It hardly looks dangerous, I'm curious because some pages back someone posted photos taken from a helicopter and the landscape around the plant was very neat which seemed strange considering the destructive power of the wave.

I know everything is in chaos after a disaster, but: "A TEPCO official at the Fukushima office said, "The radiation exposure on Thursday occurred because there was bad sharing of information. We have to apologize. We want to make efforts to share information within the company." "
also from that Asahi story.

Kyodo News Woes deepen over radioactive waters at nuke plant, sea contamination Tokyo, March 27 2011 "Following the March 11 massive quake and tsunami, cooling functions failed at the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 reactors, and their reactor cores partially melted at the plant on the Pacific coast, prompting seawater to be pumped in to prevent the fuel from being exposed.

The cooling functions of the pools storing spent nuclear fuel at the three units as well as at the No. 4 unit were also lost. The No. 4 reactor, halted for maintenance before the quake, has had all of its fuel rods stored in the pool for the maintenance work." english.kyodonews.jp Goodnight

@Tenzing - Those photos are amazing, some I haven't seen before. Seeing the inside of reactor #4 from years before gives me a much clearer vision of how vast the spent fuel pool is.

@ALL, since this is a running and time-sensitive blog, here's a big big thanks to posters who take one more step beyond just saying LATEST by indicating the relevant time referred to. Example: LATEST picture (posted at HH:MM GMT) or (viewed at HH:MM GMT). Best to use GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) or UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).

Okay, what i just heard is :
The situation within the 30km zone IS CHANGING...we are leaving all options open
by VeenOui 3/27/2011 7:17:51 AM

@alblee The local time is displayed underneath each post isn't it ?.it is correct on my end.
by VeenOui 3/27/2011 7:19:40 AM

Thanks, @VeenOui. Correct, that is the Local Time of your browser, so each user's screen will display his/her local time depending on where he or she happens to be, not some common Internet time.
by alblee 3/27/2011 7:23:15 AM

@VeenOui, that means the "posting" timestamp you see on your browser may be different from the timestamp that others may see due to their browser's different time settings, even though you are all seeing the same post. If it so happens that you are located in Japan Standard Time, then, voila, your browser gives the "correct" Japan time.

Have to go offline for a couple of hours. Sunday errands call me. Thanks, all. Keep posting. Thanks.

So NHK is reporting the Japanese government is saying it looks like the suppression chamber on R2 has ruptured and radioactive material is leaking out. No surprise, but the first I've heard it so plainly.
