  • @marie rich can you explain emitters to us nuclear noobs? :-)

  • little pulses of gamma, i believe. I'll try to find the Youtube experiment. brb

  • @Markfm I am uploading a compilation of all of the laptop vids. Youtube is the sukzor

  • Any of them high res robot cam?

  • @Markfm Only what tepco gave out.. I have re-encoded it. Not sure if it will help
    by NHK Listener 4/20/2011 6:43:19 PM

  • @Markfm I am sure there are some engineer level people with a great deal of frustration about many things right now. I'm just glad decent info is making its way out and hope it continues to.
    by Nancy 4/20/2011 6:44:20 PM

  • That's fine -- I'll keep waiting for the source to show.
    by Markfm 4/20/2011 6:44:41 PM

  • Cryptome has 3 new images from the robots. MUCH better than the drek TEPCO is handing out, still pretty hard to get a good view. cryptome.org
    by Nancy 4/20/2011 6:47:42 PM

  • www4.ncsu.edu THIS is probably the best BWR information source I have found
    by dean 4/20/2011 6:48:19 PM

  • @Markfm source vid from the laptops is out there. TEPCO needs to stop acting like a pack of wankers and just release decent media to the public.

  • Second try: Brazil is plotting water vs. vapor for the reactors, based on temperature and pressure. www.ic.unicamp.br

    by Markfm via Ic.unicamp.br 4/20/2011 6:48:37 PM

  • @all - will see if I can do anything to improve those new cryptome images. Should have something in a few minutes.

  • @Markfm What happened to the phase diagram?
    by Jim Carver 4/20/2011 6:49:02 PM

  • ok
    by Jim Carver 4/20/2011 6:49:13 PM

  • I tried to repost, just the link, but scribble simply wants to show the diagram.

  • Tokyo Electric admits fuel could be melting at Fukushima nuke plant
    TOKYO, April 21, Kyodo

    An official at Tokyo Electric Power Co., the operator of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, admitted Wednesday that fuel of the plant's No. 1 reactor could be melting. english.kyodonews.jp

  • @LM any idea how/where to get the full article? or is this only available behind a paywall?
    by sims 4/20/2011 6:55:00 PM

  • I just applied for a 2 week trial
    by Markfm 4/20/2011 6:55:18 PM

  • Of course, this would be consistent with the top 1.6 or 1.7 meters being uncovered...
    by Markfm 4/20/2011 6:56:56 PM

  • @sims I'm assuming it'll show up at NHK soon. They usually post the same stories albeit a little later. It's a real bummer they've limited access.
    by LM 4/20/2011 6:57:18 PM

  • fair enough and TBH it would be a huge miracle if a good part of the fuel hadn't melted considedring close to half of it was uncovered in all reactors for a month.. so they're kinda stating the obvious
    by sims 4/20/2011 6:57:57 PM

  • @NHK Listener No I had not. Interesting videos. Do you know the maint. work they are doing? It just said "FW". The draping they have going on and what I have seen in other images explains the pink junk everywhere.
    by Nancy 4/20/2011 6:59:18 PM

  • @sims It'll be interesting to see if they change their estimated on percentage of fuel damage in unit 1. Up until now they've said...maybe 70 percent.
    by LM 4/20/2011 6:59:59 PM

  • @Markfm If people have figured out how to access the now limited info on NHK and Kyodo can you share?
    by Nancy 4/20/2011 7:00:12 PM

  • @LM my guess would be when they open the reactor in a few years :)
    by sims 4/20/2011 7:01:28 PM

  • @sims So true!
    by LM 4/20/2011 7:02:11 PM

  • I noticed this pulling the cryptome images "this frame grab made off video released by Tokyo Electric Power Co" I knew they had decent video. Anyone have a clue how to get press access or with someone who has it in Japan?
    by Nancy 4/20/2011 7:06:36 PM

  • Found the radiation experiment. (I love this lady's stuff- she's nutso for any experiment. And can be very funny, too.) www.youtube.com

  • @Nancy on this video they are removing part of water spraying system, there was video from reactor #4 when water spraying system was working

  • The Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency has reported to a Cabinet Office safety panel that nuclear fuel pellets in the Nos. 1 to 3 reactors at the quake-hit Fukushima power station are believed to have partially melted. www.yomiuri.co.jp

  • @ALL good afternoon. Lots of computer probs last two days. Missed y'all. Got my son and his fiance coming for a few days, so I'll be around less. @Deidre TY for that post. It may help me work on an idea.

    Radiation Control in the Core Shroud Replacement Project of
    Fukushima-Daiichi NPS Unit #2 www.irpa.net this was the second unit to have it's core shroud replaced number 3 (posted earlier) was first in 97/98 unit 2 (shown) 98/99 and unit 5 followed in 99/00
