Perhaps we see the steam more at night because it is colder and the water condenses more

by Mina via I52.tinypic 5/7/2011 5:41:00 PM- Sorry for double post there was something going wrong, perhaps someone can delete it.by Mina 5/7/2011 5:42:01 PM
should we make a sticky out of this link so that everyone can watch what's happening?
by Optim 5/7/2011 5:42:10 PM- Since the steam comes and goes on #3, I would say they are putting in some water, and then stopping, then putting in some water. Not wanting to just dump it all at once !by wtm 5/7/2011 5:43:48 PM

by Debra Beckham 5/7/2011 5:43:58 PM- #4 on right bottom, looks like one of the red pumper trucks.by wtm 5/7/2011 5:45:00 PM
I posted a screen clip to lockerz and it has had over 50 views I didnt tweet or fbook it so people must be desperately seeking infoby elainekirk 5/7/2011 5:45:00 PM

The tsunamioftears can send emails. Veen sent me the link for this camera that way.by marie rich 5/7/2011 5:50:11 PM- Don't think this is a fire, just the normal water injection steam.by wtm 5/7/2011 5:50:16 PM
- hey marie !by radioguy 5/7/2011 5:50:21 PM
@Peter Melzer low temp overnight of 50 degrees with 40% humidity. Not sure if that is enough temp difference between 50c to make that much steam.by Nancy 5/7/2011 5:50:47 PM- @Marie rich, are you going to be "testy" all today ?by wtm 5/7/2011 5:50:56 PM
- @radioguy Hi @Elaine Lol, you can edit out my nonsense, pls...by marie rich 5/7/2011 5:50:58 PM
- @Debra Beckham Damn... I hoped you caught the smokout.by radioguy 5/7/2011 5:51:05 PM
- @wtm but then why all the lights on tonight vs. other overnights?by Nancy 5/7/2011 5:51:12 PM
- @marie keeps toddling off into mod I dont know how she gets there because she is still on auto approve methinks she has someone hidden in there and is having secret trystsby elainekirk 5/7/2011 5:51:33 PM
- @wtm Oh, I PROFOUNDLY HOPE NOTby marie rich 5/7/2011 5:51:33 PM
- @Nancy, may have finally got the power back to the complex lighting ?by wtm 5/7/2011 5:51:55 PM
- It's my psychotic other halfby marie rich 5/7/2011 5:52:02 PM
- @wtm people have noted the lights being on for a while early evening/early morning then off the rest of the night on previous nightsby Nancy 5/7/2011 5:52:55 PM
- @Nancy They'v had lights on before, but never this much steam,afaikby marie rich 5/7/2011 5:52:59 PM
- @wtm if they are venting every night under cover of darkness we wouldnt have them illuminating the fact surely!! they did turn the lights off earlier but they came back onby elainekirk 5/7/2011 5:54:01 PM
- @marie rich I have been checking the cam throughout the day here (US CST) because I have had such a hard time remembering the time diff. Usually black through their night, my mid-dayby Nancy 5/7/2011 5:54:11 PM
- @Nancy And they turned them on specifically for this. They were off not long before.by radioguy 5/7/2011 5:54:14 PM
- I wonder where they are getting the clean water from, or has another ship docked ??by wtm 5/7/2011 5:54:16 PM
- @wtm no mention of another load of water it was my understanding the US team went home I think tepco prefers not to have observersby elainekirk 5/7/2011 5:55:22 PM
- @Nancy, must be doing some work outside that needs the light on ?by wtm 5/7/2011 5:55:36 PM
- @Elaine, wonder if they are using seawater again and not saying anything ?by wtm 5/7/2011 5:56:21 PM
- @wtm that might be what is going on rbeamer said that more water had come in, do not know when his post was around 10:30 today.. and said another was on the way.... maybe they just got the water they neededby fitter 5/7/2011 5:56:44 PM
- Regarding venting: #4 has nothing to vent. #3 is so destroyed, can they even vent it? Do they have automated venting still or would they have to send someone in? #2 do they have venting capability? #1 they already mentioned opening the doors or venting it.by Nancy 5/7/2011 5:57:20 PM
- @elainekirk there was something in a news article about still delivering barges of water but they were going to now store it on site after delivery?by Nancy 5/7/2011 5:58:19 PM
@Nancy I has to be ,echanical venting, imagine the amount of steam hitting people downstream no way
\by Veenie 5/7/2011 5:58:24 PM- @Nancy exactly they cannot get close enough to vent anything and the smoke/steam is too eratic to have a controlled sourceby elainekirk 5/7/2011 5:58:25 PM
- I will have a look @Nancyby elainekirk 5/7/2011 5:59:09 PM
@wtm I don't think tonight's events are just the usual spraying routine as there was far more steam than nomal. Remember they used to do it during daylight hours as plenty of photos will show. However it may be they decided to increase the quantity of water significantly, hence more steam...by UKVal 5/7/2011 5:59:23 PM- @Nancy IMO they can't 'normaly' vent 1-3. Unit 1 could probably be vented thru thee stack, the pipes may be intact, but it would have to be manually vented. Plus, the first day they sad the vent was 'stuck'.by marie rich 5/7/2011 6:00:05 PM
- Sorry ffor typos. *valve, not vent*by marie rich 5/7/2011 6:00:45 PM
- @Marie, might be that they need the lights because they are going around the complex and spaying that glue stuff to catch any venting that they are doing. They would need to see around the area if they were doing that.by wtm 5/7/2011 6:02:23 PM
- Too bad this isn't a really good low level light cam that could see in the dark.by wtm 5/7/2011 6:03:42 PM
- IMO, if they could vent #1, they would. Who would want pressure building up in a damaged plant? Even if it was below design accident basis.by marie rich 5/7/2011 6:03:47 PM
- Starting to inject more water into #4 again.by wtm 5/7/2011 6:04:45 PM
- @wtm that wind tonight is fierce I know tepco have no social conscience but surely not even they would expect that load of muck to stay on the site and they dont do the spraying robots do, that kind of lighting would surely vcreate too many shadows for robotic controlby elainekirk 5/7/2011 6:05:19 PM
