  • Jorge Stolfi is just posted on physicsforum, too

  • @fitter that is just as scary as can be. It is amazing that he posted it to a blog where it is essentially in the public domain. In terms of the specific statement I think all of us here can automatically assume that TEPCO will not succeed in averting such an event. The fact that it can be placed on a particular date over a week away is interesting. Does anyone have any idea what kind of data set could lead to such a prediction?

  • @Markfm But we knew that- you and I. We both commented on the temp rise in the last 5-6 days

  • @bo i asked jim to look at it it was beyond me and does sound scary
    by fitter 5/6/2011 1:58:08 AM

  • @fitter I will pass it on to my Japanese friends who are focused on the crisis, see if they know of him and/or will contact him and report back later today. Although today is the one work day of Golden Week so many may not be in at the office today
    by bo 5/6/2011 1:58:21 AM

  • I read that statement on the forum.. wow
    by dean 5/6/2011 1:59:32 AM

  • I looked on phys forum. Where is this prediction of a major release?
    by Nancy 5/6/2011 1:59:38 AM

  • @bo is he a polition ???? do wonder what makes the statement about the release and do you have any air filter systems at home

    by fitter 5/6/2011 2:01:24 AM

  • Found the post:
    Translation (non-literal and our understanding):

    I received 3 emails with attachments from junior government officials in the energy department.

    The first email:
    Minutes of meeting between TEPCO and the government on the 1st May.
    "If the current situation continues, high density radiation will be released on the 8th May."
    "Mr Hosono said: It is very important to go to the next step regarding the installation of the heat exchanger machine. For the concerned parties, be careful of the sharing of information with high sensitivity so that the same mistakes aren't made again like the release of the radiated water previously.

  • @Nancy how did you copy that
    by fitter 5/6/2011 2:02:35 AM

  • @fitter Highlight, control c to copy
    , control v to paste.

  • @nancy how do i start the highlight
    by fitter 5/6/2011 2:03:54 AM

  • Uh wasn't it after the 1st that the EPA up and decided to stop monitoring????
    by Nancy 5/6/2011 2:04:01 AM

  • @fitter Put your mouse where you want to start, hold down your left mouse button, drag to highlight, let up when your at the end. Should stay highlighted.
    by Nancy 5/6/2011 2:04:44 AM

  • @fitter I have sent it to my colleague from work. He is the Vice President (acting President) of our institute and is a former longtime Asahi Shinbun reporter and expert on non-proliferation issues. He is very focused on the politics of the situation, so he may know of Taro Kono or others in the LDP.

  • Oh my, someone mentioned they thought #4 was leaning. I think it is!

  • @Nancy I keep forgetting about the lesf side thanks

  • @bo here's the link to this blog mentioned. Maybe your friends would like to keep an eye on it?http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.taro.org%2F2011%2F05%2Fpost-996.php

  • @bo the web site there is very good they also have a thread on the politic of the quake/radiation that you and your friend might likd
    by fitter 5/6/2011 2:08:24 AM

  • @fitter I have sent him the link. Don't know if he is at work yet since I am a lazy American and am lingering with my morning coffee still.
    by bo 5/6/2011 2:09:33 AM

  • @Jim Carver weren't you and mark/edno counting the days on the meltrough reaching the bottm today!! Did you make any sense out of the thread??
    by fitter 5/6/2011 2:09:36 AM

  • fitter.. way back earlier today I posted a very nice video if you can get it...
    by dean 5/6/2011 2:09:40 AM

  • @elainekirk pulled a screen capture into photoshop. Comparing other objected with vertical lines. 4 is leaning very much so to the right. It is not an illusion.
    by Nancy 5/6/2011 2:09:57 AM

  • @Nancy "after the 1st the EPA stopped monitoring" Every time they say there is nothing to worry about, it means something bad just happened.
    by Bobby1 5/6/2011 2:10:07 AM

  • Here's what the current poster concludes with: Perhaps this is related to the temperature rise discussed earlier in reactor 3.
    TEPCO on Wednesday has increased the flow of water to that reactor to 9 tons/hr from 7 tons/hr.
    Clearly the situation remains far from stable.
    With the water in the plant and the reactor temperatures both rising, maybe there should be a reappraisal of the strategy.

  • @Nancy They discuss that lean on the physics forum just before the other one.

    by fitter 5/6/2011 2:10:41 AM
