  • WOW WOW Big changes to almost all nisa reports,,, Corrections of “Measuring points of reactor pressure of Unit 2”, “Values of reactor pressure of Units 1 and 3”, and “Location of a monitoring point” of Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station
    Wrong descriptions have been found in our materials uploaded. We apologize for and correct these as follows.
    1. Measuring points of reactor pressure of Unit 2 of Fukushima Dai-ichi NPS
    The measuring points of reactor pressure of Unit 2 of Fukushima Dai-ichi NPS have been incorrectly written as (A) and (B) since 36th release till 75th release. The correct descriptions are (A) and (D) in materials below.
     Materials to be corrected
     Seismic Damage Information (from 36th release to 75th release)
     Conditions of Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station Unit 1-6 (from 36th release to 75th release)
     Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station Major Parameters of the Plant (from 36th release to 75th release)
    2. Values of reactor pressure of Units 1 and 3 of Fukushima Dai-ichi NPS
    Tokyo Electric Power Co. Inc. released as attached on this subject. Being accompanied with this release, the values of reactor pressure of Units 1 and 3 of Fukushima Dai-ichi NPS from the 12th release till the 76th release(*) must be corrected in materials below. www.nisa.meti.go.jp

  • Well sh** this is saying R1 pressures are higher than originally reported!

  • @NHK Listener I will ask you, since you have been a big defender of the reliability of the data, what do you think now?
    by Sinthia Domina 4/11/2011 7:49:00 AM

  • @NHK Listener Smells like METI is trying to distance themselves from any implied liability.

    Japan says situation at the crippled nuclear plant "may turn for the worse"

  • Japan urges people in 4 more communities near crippled nuke plant to leave within a month. apne.ws
    by Veen Oui 4/11/2011 7:57:36 AM

  • @Sinthia Domina I suspect the errors were from NISA. The changes are very subtle and mostly pressure related. Other than the pressures, seems to be all clarification.

  • "From 3:59 pm and 4:28 pm on April 10th , we conducted video recording of
    Unit 1 to 4 reactor buildings from the air by using an unmanned
    helicopter to check the current status of the buildings." www.tepco.co.jp Any idea if any of these videos have been disclosed to the public?

  • Why are the Unit 1 reactor pressure figures at fukushimadatapage.com different from both the old and new ones at www.nisa.meti.go.jp ?
    by bojack54 4/11/2011 8:20:28 AM

  • @bojack54 All were pulled from the Japanese versions. So good question
    by NHK Listener 4/11/2011 8:21:56 AM

  • @bojack54 - The figures at FDP add base atmostpheric pressure, whereas the numbers on the press releases are considered to be on top of base atmospheric pressure.
    by Hank Scorpio 4/11/2011 8:22:57 AM

  • That is the reason why the press releases show negative pressures for #2 and #3.

    by e123 4/11/2011 8:23:59 AM

  • What do they use as the base (in kPa)? Then I promise to stop nattering about this...
    by bojack54 4/11/2011 8:26:09 AM

  • I think base kPa is just under 100. Somewhere in the range of 80-90, but I'm not sure so don't quote me.

  • @bojack54 1 atm = 100,000 Pa = 1 kPa

    by NHK Listener 4/11/2011 8:29:27 AM

  • Standard Atmospheric Pressure is 14.696 psi. 1 atm = 1.01325 bar = 101.3 kPa = 14.696 psi (lbf/in2)= 760 mmHg =10.33 mH2O = 760 torr

    by bojack54 4/11/2011 8:30:53 AM

  • @bojack54 For most purposes you can round up to 100 kPa. The difference (under 1%) is irrelevant for most applications.

  • USGS has epicenter basically in Iwaki, and only 10km deep.
    by bojack54 4/11/2011 8:33:58 AM

  • It was only level 4 here, makes me slightly heightened but not running for the streets....
    by borrrden 4/11/2011 8:36:13 AM

  • Hard to imagine the wrecked buildings we've been staring at, in a 7.1 with an epicenter that close.
    by bojack54 4/11/2011 8:37:35 AM

  • @bojack54 Yes, it shakes even more than my city did in the original earthquake.
    by borrrden 4/11/2011 8:38:25 AM

  • @bojack54 How far from Fukushima Daiichi was the epicenter of this recent aftershock?
    by Pedro Jesus 4/11/2011 8:41:25 AM

  • Don't worry...TEPCO is saying that everyone had to evacuate, but everything is OK
    by Sinthia Domina 4/11/2011 8:41:54 AM

  • @Pedro Jesus 58 miles
    by Sinthia Domina 4/11/2011 8:42:03 AM

  • @Sinthia Domina I am double checking since on the other blog there's a differing information about that from Listener.
    by Pedro Jesus 4/11/2011 8:42:55 AM

  • @Pedro Jesus I came up with 39 miles in google earth

  • lost water injection to 1,2,3
    by Sinthia Domina 4/11/2011 8:50:23 AM

  • If it's only 1 and 2, that's a localized issue that should be relatively easy to recover from.
    by Hank Scorpio 4/11/2011 8:50:26 AM

  • no, they said 1,2,3
