Japan Earthquake

Japan Earthquake | Page 892

Good morning everyone. Interesting show on the Discovery channel last night about Fukushima. They interviewed a software engineer from Idaho, Chris Hope, who was there during the earthquake and tsunami. He said he heard explosions after the earthquake - thought that was interesting.

@dean - That's what it looks like to me.

WOW.. we need to get one special place for INSIDE THE SFP directory and archive every vid
by dean 4/29/2011 12:15:58 PM

@dean I think we have a copy of every vid so far Majjham has a massive video library on Jim's server. We would just need to find and label.

christine I didnt' get a chance to watch that ...

@Deirdre I think the company line for #4 is the sensors aren't working.
by Jim Carver 4/29/2011 12:21:10 PM

I suspect the reason they're not working is because they weren't designed to go that high or have been damaged by all the radiation.

@ALL. going to do stills of the underwater vid just posted and tweak and repost the cryptome images here this morning (my time) before I have to be out of the office most of the day. If there is anything else needed asap let me know now and I can try to squeeze it in before I head out.

of particular interest nancy, to me, is looks inside the grids where the fuel elements are stored... to see extent of melts.. YOUR FANTASTIC
by dean 4/29/2011 12:28:46 PM

@dean why thank you Dean. :-) Will see what I can pull out.

So, this time around they went from 6 am Thurs to noon Friday -- big gap on plant parameters. -1700 WL reported both readings on #1 -- where is all the extra water going?

I would like to run something past you for your thoughts.. now that we've been through so much on our setup here,, with all the fussin about the blueprint, and with that question today.. do you think we should see if scribble can somehow identify the folks who are on line ?

Fuku still at high risk of catastrophic failure, bonus: quotes from people actually involved www.euronews.net
by Nancy 4/29/2011 12:40:20 PM

We should see if we can get copies of the FOIA from the group that requested once they get them. FOIA for radiation data americanindependent.com
by Nancy 4/29/2011 12:41:57 PM

@dean They should be able to tell IP addresses and geographic location of people commenting or lurking over a given time span. They would only have email or other info if someone signed up for a log in account. Not sure if that log in data may have a privacy block and we may not be able to get that? The IP info should be something we could get. I will try to look in the admin when I get a chance and see if we do already have some stats or ip logging etc.

Tepco woman took three times radiation limit search.japantimes.co.jp "Prime Minister Naoto Kan is considering setting up a big underground tank in the compound of Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s radiation-spewing Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant to prevent contaminated water from spilling into the sea"

@dean Until an earthquake creates cracks in the tank....
by Nancy 4/29/2011 12:48:55 PM

@dean How deep does he want to go? Not going to run out of bedrock for quite a ways...what does he think the bedrock stops and turns into something else further down?
by Jim Carver 4/29/2011 12:49:10 PM

NO comment jim... whewwwwwwwwwww... I guess if no water can leak out of a leaking SFP then no water will seep through porous bedrock maybe

The Latest from the N.R.C. on Fukushima, and More green.blogs.nytimes.com "“The situation has definitely improved, but we’re still in the accident mitigation phase,” .... a continuing problem, Mr. Borchardt said, is that many of the monitoring instruments are giving inaccurate readings or have failed completely.
