slightly humid and 50 degrees according to the forecast on the other page.by Nancy 5/7/2011 4:18:12 PM- @UKVal I think it might be black smoke, #3 is getting obscured now.by Nancy 5/7/2011 4:18:24 PM
They turned off the lights by R1 R2, so hard to tell.by radioguy 5/7/2011 4:18:25 PM
I think that was black smoke....by Angie 5/7/2011 4:18:33 PM
Would venting 3 cause so much steam?by Mina 5/7/2011 4:18:52 PM- No. They were just obscured by the black smoke.by radioguy 5/7/2011 4:18:55 PM
- I think the black smoke came from #4???? I maay be wrong............by Angie 5/7/2011 4:19:52 PM
- That didn't look like steam. That looked like a cloud of thick black smoke. Hard to tell with so many variables though.by radioguy 5/7/2011 4:20:04 PM
- Do they still have the ability to remotely vent 3?by Nancy 5/7/2011 4:20:14 PM
- @Angie So did I. It obscured 3by radioguy 5/7/2011 4:20:18 PM
- @radioguy Yep!by Angie 5/7/2011 4:20:38 PM
- It could have come out of R3 with pressure on the R4-ward side though and then been blown back. Pretty stiff wind.by radioguy 5/7/2011 4:23:23 PM
- In the last data we have from 3 there wasn't that huge pressure in the RPV, so would venting cause that much steam? Or am I thinking completely wrong?by Mina 5/7/2011 4:24:59 PM
- Smoke could potentially roll out of 4's lower level holes and across 3 but there would need to be something to ignite and burn to that extent.by Nancy 5/7/2011 4:27:53 PM
- There could have been big steam. It could have cut the light enough that it looked like black smoke. But from time to time R4 seems to have black smoke. I hope it's an illusion of lighting at extreme telephoto and extreme aperture and 20kn away in fog and dust.by radioguy 5/7/2011 4:29:40 PM
- I wish we had a recording of that blast of smoke.by radioguy 5/7/2011 4:31:07 PM
- @radioguy I grabbed one screenshot of it.by Nancy 5/7/2011 4:31:25 PM
- @Nancy Does it look like they cut the lights by R1/R2, or did it completely smother them?by radioguy 5/7/2011 4:32:25 PM
- I don't want them to repeat it so we can have a better look though.by radioguy 5/7/2011 4:33:10 PM
Time to really go to bed, and now I'll have nightmares for sure.by bo 5/7/2011 4:33:25 PM
@bo g'night :)by elainekirk 5/7/2011 4:33:42 PM- @bo Night Boby radioguy 5/7/2011 4:34:38 PM
- @bo: have a good dream and no nightmares!by Mina 5/7/2011 4:35:06 PM
- @bo save worrying about it for waking hours.by Nancy 5/7/2011 4:36:22 PM
- the smoke or steam of 3 is making a low shadow on the wall of 2by Nancy 5/7/2011 4:37:48 PM
at 1 moment I thought I saw 2 streams from 3. nearest 1 looked like smoke, other was whiterby UKVal 5/7/2011 4:40:12 PM
@Nancy I'm looking at live cam..do you know if the red cement pumper is pouring water into the lower level of 4 on the right or is it just sitting idle?by LM 5/7/2011 4:40:41 PM- @LM It appears to be inserted into the building above the work deck. As far as I can tell from other photos the work deck is intact thereby Nancy 5/7/2011 4:41:52 PM
- all that mox in 3 how much plutonium is being spread in that wind?by elainekirk 5/7/2011 4:41:53 PM
- @elainekirk it would depend on the fire source if it is the core, other material in the plant burning or the SFP.by Nancy 5/7/2011 4:43:13 PM
- @Nancy Isn't that below SFP?by LM 5/7/2011 4:43:14 PM
- @Elaine - no worries -as the media keep telling us, plutonium is heavy & doesn't travel far lol!by UKVal 5/7/2011 4:43:22 PM
- @LM beside on same levelby Nancy 5/7/2011 4:43:29 PM
Morning Scribblers, is the concentrated radiation release happening ?
What was the label for this ?by Veenie 5/7/2011 4:44:34 PM- @Nancy Thanks. It isn't centered in the pool now is it?by LM 5/7/2011 4:44:52 PM
- @ukval yup all those fishies will have been ordered to stay in the 12mile zoneby elainekirk 5/7/2011 4:45:17 PM
- @Nancy Though we have absolutely NO assurance that there is not unused MOX sitting in the SFP or R3.by radioguy 5/7/2011 4:45:19 PM
- @Nancy can you post this screenshotby xxx 5/7/2011 4:45:26 PM
- @ Elaine -yes by TEPCO as the GoJ doesn't seem to be able to give orders.by UKVal 5/7/2011 4:46:25 PM
- @radioguy reactor 3 contains mox that was loaded in the autumnby elainekirk 5/7/2011 4:46:47 PM
- rude...by Veenie 5/7/2011 4:47:18 PM
- @veenie hello have you been rude?by elainekirk 5/7/2011 4:47:50 PM
- @veenie -hi!by UKVal 5/7/2011 4:49:08 PM
- @radioguy They have to store it in the SFP. I have a picture that commented the top left section was MOX but what I don't know is if they loaded all on hand into the reactor or not.by Nancy 5/7/2011 4:49:40 PM
- @UKVal @elainekirk Thanks for aknowledging another HUMAN beings presence !by Veenie 5/7/2011 4:50:26 PM
