@madrat what I noticed is that the "either side" balance in the CNIC image for #4 still pans out. But it doesn't for 3. 3 doesn't seem to have storage on either side of the reactor. So the CNIC image is still a maybe leaning towards being it, if that makes sense based on seeing the reactor cap in some images.

@madrat. Going to post the new page in a bit. Still need to go back and update some existing pages so old pages might not match the new page until I get comments on the old ones updated.

@UKVal I don't know about that ongoing taking of iodine. I thought it was for protection during a big exposure rather than against low level long term. It does have some side effects.

BTW, I talked to someone at CNIC. They have more images but they are totally overwhelmed right now due to only a few employees and a major disaster they are trying to keep tabs on. If things calm down at some point I can probably get more images out of them. If we end up with an unexplainable stalemate on layouts I may email them but I don't know if they will have time to fact check for me right now.

@madrat, we need to find out the source of that new overhead blueprint or at least what reactor and what power plant it is for. It could be useful or it could be totally useless. I can't tell without that info.

@alblee Interesting video. The images from that video were the pulls that I think I posted links to on Kyodo last night. I think there must be more to it, though, as there were some clear shots of the SFP itself.

@madrat I know they are withholding images. Large blocks of image stills are missing from Tepco press releases. They number order the stills and about 10 or so missing from the stills of a video flyover. Chronology would have been the ones where there drone was over 3 and some of the other needed info. They also only released crappy drone stills. None of the better quality arial from previous drone flights. Then they throw out these distraction good quality images like the water tanks added onsite.

[What makes our blogspace a fine useful one is that whistleblowers can relay withheld images or info through us. - Alblee]

@Bobby1 "A secret plan to dismantle Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO), the operator of the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, is circulating within the government."

Secret? Huh? "Wow, we wouldn't want anyone to suspect we're actually thinking about dismantling Fuku 1. That might indicate foresight."

@me sorry, "that link" being this one: www.sfgate.com that @Bobby1 posted, not the one I put up.

@jay There are multivitamins, as well as kelp and other natural seaweed products which are high in iodine.

@radioguy They keep revising data numbers down by 100 times or more. If they were simply making mistakes, and were wrong too high 10 times, then you would statistically expect that they were wrong too low 10 other times.

April 15 images online. Tweaked images from Cryptome and also a bunch of new images from various sources. www.houseoffoust.com I have forthcoming update on reactor layouts and insides probably later today.

@radioguy A Monsanto food monopoly?

@Nancy they do Friday news dumps here too. & you know that a government officail here suggested 9/11 was a 'good day to bury bad news'

I just thought of something. On reactor 3, if part of the explosion happened below the reactor floor in some of those areas between the concrete containment and the outer walls, could it have blown floor panels up and out? If parts of the floor were removable or cast in place loose (not tied into the main floor) they could have been blasted out.

madrat if u are still aroun look at this page, has some landmarks in the images

[Fine job you've been doing, @Nancy. - Alblee]

Look at the cool designs for HRT-10 and HTR-PM at this site. Look at the failure modes! "In 2004, the small HTR-10 reactor was subject to an extreme test of its safety when the helium circulator was deliberately shut off without the reactor being shut down. The temperature increased steadily, but the physics of the fuel meant that the reaction progressively diminished and eventually died away over three hours." www.world-nuclear.org

@Nancy Pic look great THANK you for the north notaion.... when ever you see ledberter, (cant spell his name) get his opion on the "ladder" i ve been looking at those all week and they are typ of a "frame" we would make to mount elecrtial/pipng boxes etc.. to ..... if you look just to the side of the thread... you see two "mount holes" not a large diamt.. so would not be a Pump or something heavey.... he has field experience and should have a good opion.... also as you are doing this can you identify the markings on the pipe... it seens to be a black lettering, in the general area that they have what looks to be color code stripes... the pic with the doors blow out.. i thing there is a larger drawing showing the pipe to the right side with the system markings on it .... i was unable to enlarge and still have clearity.... also on the other side we had a discussion and i left a post for dean, MSDA on hydr fluid... disagree with some conclusions... i was looking at "fire vs explosion" not sure they understood because they only had todays conv not yesterdays... will get back have a Great day... GOOD JOB....

@Nancy. You asked if anyone recognized the equipment in the photo labeled "Inside"? Those are banks of 'Buckets' which make up motor control centers, MCCs. They are most often located on the ground, or basement floor of any process building and are therefore most vulnerable to flooding. An explination of how they work can be found on Wickipedia. Needless to say they and water don't mix. Those 'buckets' will never control a motor again. If the pumps and motors those MCCs control are not damaged they can be run by bypassing this room. However, I don't see it being very safe with the level of radiation that must be present in the turbine room where the pumps are located.

@DonnerT So are they likely in the reactor building or can they be somewhere else on site. Not sure what you mean by process building. So they are a type of pump control?

@Nancy that would be my first guess, its mechanical/stru.. /or electr related.. great job....
