  • I havent seen the line @fitter,, they also had a design change to add a way to vent the main building which was outside of containment... lol. AT your comments... I'm not going to say what they say about REACTOR OPERATORS... I did have a fitter who worked for me on my shift.. and he would come over and fix a problem and stop in and say... it's all fixed.. I would say.. ty BRAD.. then he'd say.... no problem.. just remember YOUR S*** is my bread and butter... he he

  • @ Nancy - sorry I've only just read your post below. I agree I think there's a complex story re MOX to uncover here. Also The Berkeley lab vid posted on the other blog -the scientists were saying that the roof of #3 landed on #4. They've been consulted by the GoJ over this mess so I think they know

  • @xxx are they Fukushima Daiichi and if so which unit ?

  • I've just noticed something called the 'doghouse' on the diagram. What the hell is that?
    by UKVal 4/15/2011 10:25:49 PM

  • @elainekirk Yes, unit 1,2,3,4,5 @fitter I will try o find, at this time those two,

  • @fitter there is some elevation connotations in some images I posted earlier for Nancy, I'll grab the link for you.

    by UKVal 4/15/2011 10:27:56 PM

  • @xxx Excellent stuff! I've just finished concluding that the reactors are indeed offset in the containment buildings of R2/3/4. I'll be adding new images to the wiki site soon!

  • @ NHK - thanks for vid. Very informative
    by UKVal 4/15/2011 10:32:53 PM

  • @elainekirk can you make sure nancy see this, it has referenc to casket drop system (wouldn't want to drop them)... but laydowns area's for the caps and plugs etc...
    by fitter 4/15/2011 10:32:57 PM

  • @UKVal me too...
    by fitter 4/15/2011 10:33:29 PM

  • @UKVal Someone posted a pic of reactor 3 after the explosion and no damage to 4 was seen,,

  • @NHK Listener don't you think that area looks a little to clean for a building that was on fire and had an explosion????? I know they have been dumping a lot of water on it, but I have my doubts
    by fitter 4/15/2011 10:36:07 PM

  • @fitter Yeah I was noticing that too..
    by NHK Listener 4/15/2011 10:36:41 PM

  • I was asking where that steam along the left top edge is coming from.... Photoshop the building but the steam is harder...
    by radioguy 4/15/2011 10:38:40 PM

  • @fitter I wouldn't call that clean... There's debris everywhere in the overhead shots, and daylight hitting the crane, plus you can see through the back of the reactor building w/ rebar sticking every which way...

  • R3 - MARCH 14, 11:01 AM
    An explosion damages the reactor building and the primary containment vessel. Eleven workers are injured.

    R4 - MARCH 15, 6:00 AM
    A hydrogen-gas explosion created by chemical reactions with the spent fuel rods damages the building. A fire also breaks out.
    by radioguy 4/15/2011 10:41:53 PM

  • I think that is fog.

  • @FradyKat swirling in the backdraft? could be.
    by radioguy 4/15/2011 10:43:09 PM

  • @fitter I only see I unit diagram and one plan from @xxx I need to know which unit at daichi they are if I am giving them to @Nancy they have to be validated in some way iykwim
    by elainekirk 4/15/2011 10:43:09 PM

  • The altitude of that pic is way up there. Those towers look tiny.
    by FradyKat 4/15/2011 10:43:47 PM

  • @radioguy That hydrogen-gas explosion in Unit 4 on the 15th March was not reported at the time. This info has been added to the TEPCO statements more recently, not sure exactly when.
    by es 4/15/2011 10:44:47 PM

  • @jay i can't enlarge it, but i"ll say at this time maybe there is some PR there... i'd have to see it enlarged....
    by fitter 4/15/2011 10:47:37 PM

  • And there never was any video of the explosion of R4. I think it happened during the hours before dawn of the 15th.

    Unit 4At approximately 6:00 am, March 15th, an explosive sound occurred andthe damage in the 5th floor roof of Unit 4 reactor building was confirmed. At 9:38 am, the fire near the north-west part of 4th floor ofUnit 4 reactor building was confirmed. At approximately 11:00 am, TEPCO employee confirmed that the fire was off. At approximately 5:45 am, a TEPCO employee discovered a fire atthe northwest corner of the Nuclear Reactor Building. TEPCO immediatelyreported this incident to the fire department and the local governmentand proceeded with the extinction of fire. At approximately 6:15 am,TEPCO staff confirmed at the site that there are no signs

  • @marie rich Yes I've seen those. But that's not what the press releases said at the time. I guess if they'd mentioned the explosions at the time we'd have dissected them here too. As far as I recall they didn't, they only mentioned a couple of fires.
    by es 4/15/2011 10:50:38 PM

  • @elainekirk the plan drawing,,,,, even if its not daichi... its valuable... and by enlarging it and comparing it to the stuff we know she may be either able to validate it or a min. give good reference to how a layout would be in general... i can't read the type, but i know enough out drawings that it has some resemble to fushi and will give a better questamate than what we have now...
    by fitter 4/15/2011 10:51:41 PM

  • @marie rich I'm not saying there was no explosion there ever, just that they didn't tell us at the time, and the content in some of those press notices has changed.
    by es 4/15/2011 10:53:11 PM

  • @marie rich i never seen any anoucment that there was an explosion either, some of the post at a diffferent site were discussing it
    by fitter 4/15/2011 10:53:28 PM

  • @NHK - thanks for the picture - it sure doesn't look as if the roof fell onto 4 - maybe the scientists got it wrong
    by UKVal 4/15/2011 10:53:51 PM

  • Is there a vent pipe in any of the pictures did anyone notice?
