If I were an attorney for TEPCO, I'd try to withhold as much info as possible. Just sayin'. Heck, I'd be shredding documents...by Rob in SF 4/30/2011 3:14:30 PM
@Nancy I translated fukushima to chinese this morning and did a search and bingo the exposures and sea pollution were in the chinese and hk pressby elainekirk 4/30/2011 3:24:41 PM
@elainekirk huh. so are they getting more detailed numbers that we are through English press?by Nancy 4/30/2011 3:42:20 PM- @rob & @alblee seemed pretty impressed with the reports they quoted sources and the sea water article /#1/exposures gave plenty of info
And the reports were hrs before anything in western press so maybe western media are pushed outby elainekirk 4/30/2011 3:46:22 PM 
@Nancy www.5xuncn.com i don't konow. i see a funny shade on #3 just before explosion ?by Edano 4/30/2011 3:48:32 PM- @elainekirk good find! do you have enough info for use to mark a few papers to check daily?by Nancy 4/30/2011 3:50:00 PM

- @Edano it looks like a shadow of the tower on the building. It does look freaky at first. Look at the open spots of light on the shadow vs. the tower to the rightby Nancy 4/30/2011 3:51:13 PM
- also look at the light on the buildings, brighter to the left than the right, likely sun angle.by Nancy 4/30/2011 3:51:42 PM
- @Nancy nono, not such a bog shadow from the tower ! never !by Edano 4/30/2011 3:52:24 PM
- @Edano is there a bigger image of the lower pic anywhere?by Nancy 4/30/2011 3:53:55 PM
- a bigger picture www.5xuncn.comby Edano 4/30/2011 3:54:23 PM
a bigger picture www.5xuncn.com
by Edano via 5xuncn 4/30/2011 3:55:11 PM- @Edano not much bigger but yes it is the tower, the right side horizontal line of the shadow follows the curve of the tower. If it isn't a shadow it is giant nuclear ostrich poo. :-)by Nancy 4/30/2011 3:56:05 PM
- @Nancy : i agree, on #4 is a shadow from the tower, but not #3. it cannot be.by Edano 4/30/2011 3:59:09 PM
- @Edano why can't it?by Nancy 4/30/2011 4:00:23 PM
- @Nancy I will look later didn't really have time this morning to decide which were best I just put the translation into search set it for latest results and clicked as they came in and translatedby elainekirk 4/30/2011 4:03:28 PM
@Edano Right, not a shadow.by Bobby1 4/30/2011 4:05:14 PM- 365jia.cn the right tower is nearly in one line between #3 and #4. i doubt, but i am not sure it can throw such a shadow on #3.by Edano 4/30/2011 4:16:01 PM

@Edano @Bobby There's no 'shadow' visible in this video of the explosion: www.youtube.com Any idea how soon before the explosion that image was taken?by es 4/30/2011 4:19:40 PM- 365jia.cn the right tower is nearly in one line between #3 and #4. i doubt, but i am not sure it can throw such a shadow on #3.by Edano 4/30/2011 4:20:43 PM
- @es : no idea, the site says nothing. but #1 is exploded already. and sorry, i don't know what scribble does multiplying my posts.by Edano 4/30/2011 4:21:29 PM
- www.5xuncn.com here the source.by Edano 4/30/2011 4:21:58 PM
- @es Reactor #3 exploded at 11:15 am March 15. This must have been taken on a prior day.by Bobby1 4/30/2011 4:25:01 PM
- @Bobby1 : i suspect this might be the moment before the explosion (?). beginning cracks ?by Edano 4/30/2011 4:26:42 PM
- @Bobby I think so too. @Edano I'd have to agree with Nancy, it looks to be a shadow of the tower to me. Also interesting is how #1 looks less somewhat damaged in the earlier pic than after #3's explosion.by es 4/30/2011 4:28:47 PM
- somewhat lessby es 4/30/2011 4:29:22 PM
- If it was a shadow, it would not match the shape of the tower. @Edano Looks to be just before sunset. Water?by Bobby1 4/30/2011 4:32:03 PM
- @Bobby1 : water ? from the drywell ?by Edano 4/30/2011 4:35:06 PM
- from venting ?by Edano 4/30/2011 4:35:27 PM
- were the choppers doing water drops ?by elainekirk 4/30/2011 4:35:40 PM
- @elainekirk : no this was days after the explosion.by Edano 4/30/2011 4:36:09 PM
- @Edano @elainekirk Venting doesn't seem likely. From the pool?by Bobby1 4/30/2011 4:36:44 PM
- i found a zoomed one: 60.216.0.164:88by Edano 4/30/2011 4:38:39 PM

@elaine here's another tendril regarding mox: www.jnfl.co.jpby marie rich edited by elainekirk 4/30/2011 4:49:01 PM- That site is about Rokkasho storage and reprocessing facility in Aomori.by marie rich 4/30/2011 4:50:53 PM
- @marie brilliant I will send it to jimby elainekirk 4/30/2011 4:52:33 PM
Regarding Tennessee Valley Auth (TVA) Browns Ferry BWR's, interesting article about their preparedness, especially with all the torrnados around thedailysentinel.com Sounds surprisingly robust IMHO.by RBeaner 4/30/2011 4:54:06 PM- The pic would have been around 16:45 March 13.
・ Seawater started to be injected to RPV via the Fire Extinguish Line.
(13:12 March 13th)
・ Seawater injection for Units 1 and 3 was suspended due to the lack of
seawater in pit. (01:10 March 14th)by Bobby1 4/30/2011 4:56:18 PM - this is a link to Riken Waco instit. rad monitoring (I think for Tokyo). Supposed to be up-dated daily. www.riken.go.jpby marie rich 4/30/2011 4:56:53 PM
@RBeaner erm sorry couldn't help it, this is probably what the Japanese authorities were saying before Fukushima...and the Russians before Chernobyl back in those days.
"Utility officials are confident its nuclear units are capable of withstanding beyond worst-case scenarios."by talisker 4/30/2011 4:59:42 PM
