We don't have daylight savings time in Japanby bo 5/7/2011 12:39:03 PM
@fitter you were after me?by Angie 5/7/2011 12:39:08 PM
@Nancy : i will script an app for you. i have time in about 6 hours, maybe 9. :)by Edano 5/7/2011 12:41:19 PM
@Nancy sorry hit enter... 2) if they fear collapise... they will relocate eqipment ... on the older pics you could see the plywood put down (for lots of reasons)... but that equipment has outriggers so it does not tip,,,, they have to pay much attention to the cribbing and outriggersby fitter 5/7/2011 12:41:39 PM- @Angie @Angie just wanted to say hello, but i need to ru for awhile, take careby fitter 5/7/2011 12:42:47 PM
@fitter Hmm. good point. It has seemed they had water issues on that end. I don't know if all of this water runoff from the SFP could have contributed to the building instability or not. We were discussing yesterday that the building may not be anchored down to bedrock.by Nancy 5/7/2011 12:43:16 PM- @fitter lol its all good! hello to you and have fun what ever you are doing!by Angie 5/7/2011 12:43:28 PM
- @Edano Thanks, that would be probably useful for more than my time challenged self. I used to work with an office in London and could wrap my head around the time change difference there. I have a horrible time remembering the skew with Japan's day.by Nancy 5/7/2011 12:44:29 PM
- @Nancy they have many things that would compromise the groud, its comon to have outriggers sink.... but if it falls on to the sfp.... not goodby fitter 5/7/2011 12:44:59 PM
- @bo thanks bo. I am guessing it gets dark there around 8:30pm right now?by Nancy 5/7/2011 12:45:20 PM
- so japan time is utc + 7. right ?by Edano 5/7/2011 12:45:40 PM
- @Nancy more like 7:30, but it will change quickly as we head towards the solsticeby bo 5/7/2011 12:46:14 PM
- @fitter are they that heavy? The one they are using looked pretty light weight, well light weight for industrial equipment.by Nancy 5/7/2011 12:46:24 PM
- @Edano +9by bo 5/7/2011 12:47:03 PM
- @bo thanks, we are staying light here until about 8:30 but I am much further north an on about the opposite side.by Nancy 5/7/2011 12:47:07 PM
good morning to alby dean 5/7/2011 12:47:17 PM- @Nancy from my feed (thats off now) it looks like they have brought in flood lights or they just wanted to remind you of the white house capby fitter 5/7/2011 12:47:18 PM
- @bo : utc + 9 ? thxby Edano 5/7/2011 12:47:35 PM
- Because we don't have daylight savings time, the sun is up around 5:30 in the summerby bo 5/7/2011 12:47:37 PM
- Good morning @deanby bo 5/7/2011 12:47:56 PM
- @Nancy are you talking about the equipmt .. pumper truckby fitter 5/7/2011 12:48:11 PM
- @dean gmby fitter 5/7/2011 12:48:21 PM
- @fitter LOL. I thought they had been maybe running floods in the early evening or early morning. The picture would be dark yet the buildings would have a clear view.by Nancy 5/7/2011 12:48:22 PM
- @Nancy that was the case up until about an hour agoby bo 5/7/2011 12:49:29 PM
- @fitter I think they are still using the watering boom. It is just the long pipe with a pump at the base and the wide outrigger legs. They had not had any of the trucks in there since March. Last pic I have is around April 20-26 shows the pumping boom.by Nancy 5/7/2011 12:49:46 PM
- @dean Morning!by Angie 5/7/2011 12:49:56 PM
- hi Dean!by Nancy 5/7/2011 12:50:50 PM
- @Nancy the outriggers are a combination of 1) reach..LENGTH of the extention of the boom... weight on the boom, angle of the boom... etc.... it all is related to the counter balance...by fitter 5/7/2011 12:50:55 PM
- as of the present time,,, have we seen any more photos inside the SFP other than that one some days ago ?by dean 5/7/2011 12:51:19 PM
@Nancy I have marked the point it pinacled at, is that the shape of it we can see going up centre to left? it had fllodlights on and what I saw was without doubt the arm of the rig that had the cam on doing the sfp and is alongside 4 in your pics
by elainekirk 5/7/2011 12:52:27 PM- @Nancy : found sth for you: www.timeanddate.comby Edano 5/7/2011 12:52:52 PM
- @Nancy the pic I saw on 4 (just from memory) looked like a Pumper truck.... it showld still have outriggers... setting the outriggers proper and checking them while lifting is one of the main reason they tip, i should say LACK of proper settingby fitter 5/7/2011 12:53:24 PM

@Nancy Saw something a few days ago that discussed the bedrock being 46 meters below the surface. Discussion was about using subsurface as water storage site, because water couldn't penetrate through (unfractured:)) bedrock.by RBeaner 5/7/2011 12:54:35 PM- @elainekirk if it was a truck at that location it was either in place of or in addition to the normal pumping crane. That would have been to the left of the SFP but still on that side, near the corner. So either they had to move locations or they needed to add lots of water and added equipmentby Nancy 5/7/2011 12:56:19 PM
- @Nancy : still funny to hear this: Kan asks tu shutdown hamaoka, and the owner postpones the decision. japan is a strange counttry.by Edano 5/7/2011 12:57:10 PM
- @RBeaner yes, I remember reading that. In the research Elaine did I remember reading something that Hamaoka or one of the other plants was pointing out their reactor buildings were down to bedrock to lessen the shaking in an EQ.by Nancy 5/7/2011 12:57:34 PM
- @Edano that is the way it is. Politicians are not the power holders here. There is rarely a prime minister who is in office for more than a year.by bo 5/7/2011 12:58:03 PM
- @elainekirk I need to grab another good daylight shot tonight (my time) and do more mark up.by Nancy 5/7/2011 12:58:18 PM
- @bo : this is scary !by Edano 5/7/2011 12:59:25 PM
- @dean the only new photo I have found were two taken inside #1. Everything else so far is from late April.by Nancy 5/7/2011 1:00:15 PM
- @Edano Japan is the ultimate Corporatocracyby bo 5/7/2011 1:01:05 PM
- @Nancy terminology issue.... if it has tires and travels to and from on these tires... it is at least "slang" to refer to it as a "truck"... a crane brought in on a flat bed or a cherry pickers (has wheels) but doesn't travel to the job on these wheels ..by fitter 5/7/2011 1:02:07 PM
- @fitter ah, I took it as literally a vehicle vs. wheeled equipment.by Nancy 5/7/2011 1:04:21 PM
