@Hank, if you look at the others, the CV and the Drywell pressures are close to each other and seem to change a little, but in #1 they stay the EXACT same.by wtm 4/19/2011 7:17:06 AM
@wtm - There are times when they've veered off significantly. The 8 most recent entries at FDP show significant differences.by Hank Scorpio 4/19/2011 7:18:40 AM- @Hank, it will ONLY be a problem if something happens to the RPV in #1, if the CV and Drywell are breached, that would immediately allow stuff into the drywell.by wtm 4/19/2011 7:18:55 AM
- I can't believe the amount of damage that they are showing in #4, still don't see how they are going to try and move stuff to get to those rods. One small mistake of falling debris on those rods would me instant disaster again.
[Thanks, @wtm. Doesn't even have to take manual handling to do that... Winds from a strong enough typhoon can send things flying here and there, knocking and jiggling pieces here and there... - Alblee]

@ifz Here are webcam shots at Fukushima airport. The weather looks pretty bad so guess it's just fog you see in TEPCO's webcam www.pref.fukushima.jpby colormered 4/19/2011 7:58:43 AM- Lurker here, absent for a few days. Has it already been posted about the forecast video files of radiation showing a lot less to the public? It's from that guy dutchsinse on youtube?
"Forecast . . . stashed away in the [meterologist's private files on the back end of the server" is very different from the standard ones we see www.youtube.com Sorry if so, I just saw it and it is alarming to see the amount of cesium we've already been exposed to on 3/24, etc.by lp 4/19/2011 7:59:30 AM - @ifz Here's another webcam in Fukushima...weather is definitely not nice... weathernews.jp
[Thanks, @colormered. What I see following your link is about 2 hrs old, 福島 市内 looks like downtown, not exactly ground zero but should be close to what's there. Great link. - Alblee]

@Rob Thank you for the video link. After seeing the incredible amount of damage caused by the hydrogen explosions, it's amazing to me that the workers have managed to retain as much stability and control as they have. Kudos to them!by Bev 4/19/2011 8:07:57 AM
Currently, a large quantity of radioactive wastewater exists inside theturbine building of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. Particularly,wastewater in Unit 2 is highly radioactive.We have been planning to transfer such wastewater to the CentralizedRadiation Waste Treatment Facility once measures to prevent leakage areimplemented inside the facility buildings. After transfer to theCentralized Radiation Waste Treatment Facility, the wastewater will bestably stored.(Previously announced on April 15th, 2011)With this regard, on April 10th, we received direction from Minister ofEconomy, Trade and Industry to report on matters in connection withtransfer of high level radioactive wastewater to the CentralizedRadiation Waste Treatment Facility, such as necessity, assessment ofsafety, plans on permanent safety storage of wastewater and treatmentfacilities.Since we completed implementing measures to prevent leakage in thefacility buildings, we have compiled the details based on the directiongiven and reported to Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry. Thecontent of the report has been confirmed by Nuclear and Industrial SafetyAgency.At 10:08 am on April 19th, based on the method described in the report,we started transferring high level radioactive wastewater to the Centralized Radiation Waste Treatment Facility. www.tepco.co.jpby NHK Listener 4/19/2011 8:07:58 AM- @alblee I posted links of webcam pics at the Fukushima airport too but I see the post is gone AGAIN.

- @lp: sure.. the xenon 131 comes from a nuclear explosion.. Get your tinfoil hats ready!!
From wikipedia: "Relatively high concentrations of radioactive xenon isotopes are also found emanating from nuclear reactors due to the release of this fission gas from cracked fuel rods or fissioning of uranium in cooling water. The concentrations of these isotopes are still usually low compared to naturally occurring radioactive noble gases such as 222Rn."

@colormered, sorry for delay in this reply; I was looking all over and refreshing.
I can't explain your vanishing post on the Fukishima airport image link. I actually saw those by following your link on my browser but not in the scribblelive admin panel, a series of four or five pics stacked on top of another.
I would apologize and let you know if I did something wrong, but in this case, I din't touch your post itself. FYI, your "vanished" post seems to be eight or nine posts down from this one. - Alblee

IAEA surveillance cameras
But there is MOX
Rent shoes and hats
Posted on radiation in the reactor core
there are some funny translations and I wonder why iaea had cameras set up there is something about that mox that hounds meby elainekirk 4/19/2011 9:07:54 AM - @xxx: another very high reading in this last meti report for radiation in #2 suppression chamber: (B) reading 108 Sv/h.. i think it's not good..by Daniele 4/19/2011 9:09:51 AM

- Oyster Creek is BWR2/MK1 as the Unit 1. Unit 2 to 4 are BWR3/MK1 as like Dresden NPP, Monticello, Quad Cities, Santa María de Garoña or Pilgrim NPP. en.wikipedia.orgby NHK Listener 4/19/2011 9:28:27 AM
- Well the IAEA don't seem to know their own role (if they have one) on the one hand they accept 150kg of plutonium simply no longer existed and on the other they monitor mox in a 'pure water storage pool' .
I would assume water in an spf would not be 'pure' so there were two pools in 3???by elainekirk 4/19/2011 9:32:51 AM

Lessons from Fukushima
This is not to say that those against nuclear energy are entirely wrong—just that their standpoint is narrow. A full exploration of nuclear technology, and all that nuclear engineering has to offer, would reveal that nuclear energy must be upgraded, not halted.

Cesium-137 and Strontium-90 in Florida Milk – A Five-year Study of Distribution and Levels
If a radioactive isotope of Cesium such as Cs137 was released by some of the rockets and shells, this may account for the excess Cesium 137 found in Florida to this day. On the other hand, if all the Cesium 137 in Florida is sourced soley from nuclear bomb fallout, then a still undisclosed mechanism for concentrating Cesium 137 remains.

Not all the answers relating to the atomic test era have been answered.by Rob in SF 4/19/2011 10:27:17 AM - @Rob in SF "And with the onslaught of increasingly dire news, such as the dumping of radioactive water into the Pacific and the announced scrapping of four of the reactors in the complex, opponents of nuclear power will be invigorated in their sincere, but misguided, environmentalism." ...... misguided by whom ? who is lying ? ...... "Fukushima is a call to upgrade, renovate, and invest in the world’s nuclear infrastructure. It is time to step away from the obsolete technologies of the Cold War, and introduce into the public’s imagination the true diversity of nuclear engineering." oh yes, please. i want to see the true diversity of nuclear accidents. yes please.by Edano 4/19/2011 10:32:25 AM
